The Morning Glory Mini Sky Blue by Thompson & Morgan is a fast-growing, climbing annual ideal for gardeners looking to add vertical interest and vibrant purple-blue color to their outdoor spaces. This variety is perfect for covering trellises, fences, and walls from July through September, though gardeners should note that it requires a sunny, sheltered position and is strictly an annual, meaning it will not return the following season.

You should sow the seeds indoors or in a greenhouse between March and April.

Check that the soil temperature is sufficiently warm and ensure the compost is consistently moist but not saturated.
This is often a sign of overwatering; allow the top layer of soil to dry out slightly before the next irrigation.
Ensure the plant is receiving at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight and has a secure trellis or twine to grip.
To begin, sow seeds indoors or under glass between March and April. Use a high-quality, free-draining seed compost and cover the seeds lightly. Maintain a consistent, moist environment for the compost, but be careful to avoid overwatering, as the seeds are susceptible to rotting in water-logged conditions. Germination typically occurs within 7 to 30 days depending on ambient temperatures. Once seedlings are large enough to handle and the risk of frost has passed, transplant them to their final position in the garden. Throughout the growing season, ensure that the plants are tied into their supports to encourage upward growth. Deadheading spent blooms can sometimes encourage a prolonged flowering period, though the plant is naturally prolific.
