Grandpa Ott - Morning Glory Seeds

Plant seeds directly in the garden as soon as the soil can be worked, roughly a few weeks prior to average last frost date. Soaking seeds overnight in water can improve germination as morning glories have tough seed coats. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 60-75°f. Or, start seed indoors 4-8 weeks before transplanting into the garden. Harden off for 1 week prior to planting outside. Transplant to the garden 1-2 weeks after your average last frost. Plants are sensitive to transplant shock, so take care when transplanting.
