In May, I took two small cuttings from a wild morning glory vine and planted them in my yard. Look at the incredible growth in 6 months!
Two trellises are fully covered!
It’s easy to see why this morning glory is dubbed “Mile a Minute Vine” 🙂
Until next time…..
🙂 🙂

(P.S. Thanks for linking to my Wordless Wednesday 🙂 )
🙂 You’re so welcome. 🙂
Morning glories are among my faves too. I have some new red ones (planted the seeds 3 weeks ago) whose early leaves have started twining the bottom of the black trellis. I’ve never grown this new type so can’t wait to see how they compare!
Oh wow! I don’t think I’ve ever seen red ones!
Crimson Rambler, by Ferry Morse. I had never seen them either. Home Depot had a HUGE 32gal trash bucket full of clearance seed packages last month. (I went nuts! 😉 )
How fun! I’ll have to look for those!
I love morning glory, we have a blue one here that’s an annual. But . . . they are very close to the invasive bindweed that can take over a garden and strangle every other plant!
Isn’t that nature’s way? The allure of the beautiful is sometimes the disguise of the devil!
our different locations and climates never fail to entrrtain and amaze me. the fact you can take a cutting for me its an annual 🙂
We used them as annuals up in Massachusetts, too. When I first heard they were invasive here, I thought it was bizarre: how could an annual be invasive?! Easy…they never die off! 🙂
Morning glories are great, and you captured those beautiful trumpet-like flowers really well.
Thanks, Gracie!
Thank you for the ping! And it must be that Florideedah sunshine that made that Morning Glory so happy!!!
I love when I can “pingback” bloggers I follow. 🙂

Morning Glory is an annual here; I’ve been warned that it can be invasive, self seeding all over the place. Personally, I’ve never had much success with it. Yours is certainly stunning! Thanks!
I think anywhere north of zone 8, morning glories can’t get too invasive, though. The growing season was short when I lived in MA. so they never became a nuisance in my gardens there, where like yours, they functioned as annuals.
I was so struck by the color and size of this variety’s flowers I HAD to take a few home. 😉
our morning glory has a very deep purple flower & is a terrible weed, that is almost impossible to get rid of & strangles all other plants!
In Australia this species has REALLY taken over. I saw several pictures (online) of entire buildings shrouded by this plant’s insanely quick growth.
Here the situation is similar….the meadow from where I pulled my initial cuttings had them crisscrossing the fields and scrambling over chainlink fences: I’m sure I’ll be pulling up new growth in places I DON’T want it to grow, but the flowers are so stunning I’m taking the chance. 🙂
Thank you for reading and taking the time to comment, Becc…it is very much appreciated. 🙂
I remember it growing up the fences in my old neighborhood when I was a child. It might’ve been an annual, but it had no problem reappearing every year!
That’s so lovely. 🙂
I really am happy to see all these photos of flowers. It’s nice to see life blooming around the world.
nice
