* Germinating Ipomoea tricolor *

Ipomoea tricolor seeds are fairly easy to germinate. The most common method is described below, however many more techniques can be found elsewhere online, I encourage you to research a few.

First, scarify the seeds by rubbing them lightly against fine-grit sandpaper to help thin the seed coat. Afterwards, place the scarified seeds into hot water (not boiling, just hot to the touch, ~100F), and let them sit overnight. Replace the water with hot, fresh water the next morning. After soaking the seeds, they can be placed into starting soil, 1/2 inch deep. Make sure to keep the starter pots in direct sunlight, keep them warm, and don't let the soil dry out. Germination should occur within 1 to 2 weeks.

* Requirements for Ipomoea tricolor *

Morning Glories are tolerant of many soil types, so long as they’re pH-neutral and well draining. Ipomoea tricolor is tolerant of draughts and cold weather, however it does best in warmer climates with frequent watering.

These plants love areas with lots of direct sunlight and temperatures around 70 F.

* Growing Ipomoea tricolor *

In a large pot with soil mixed from one part perlite and one part sand, sow the swollen seeds two centimeters deep. They should germinate within one week. Make sure to keep the soil moist during this time.

As seedlings, Morning Glories may be prone to overwatering. Make sure to allow the soil to partially dry out in between waterings.

Mature plants may need the support of a trellis to grow to their full size of 7 to 14 feet long.

Morning Glories grow incredibly quickly and often don’t require fertilization. However, if you notice that your plants appear nutrient deprived, give an equally-balanced 10:10:10 fertilizer in conservative quantities. Make sure to use your gardener’s intuition with this: only give the plant nutrients if it shows signs of deficiencies or slow growth, otherwise the plant may take over your garden. Avoid fertilization in the fall or winter and focus on supplementing the plant in springtime.

The color of Ipomoea tricolor’s flowers is dependent on soil pH. If your flowers appear sickly or purple instead of deep blue, your soil may be too acidic or alkaline.

The plants will regularly need to be transferred to new containers as they grow. Their roots need lots of space, so containers less than 5 - 10 gallons in size will cause the plant to become root-locked once mature.
