Bush Morning Glory

Bush morning glory is the perfect pick for gardeners who love morning glories but don't have the space. This lower-growing annual usually stays under 2 feet tall and bears trumpet-shape flowers in jewel-tone shades of blue, white, and pink. It's a fun choice for containers when cascading down the sides.

Start from seed in spring directly the garden. It likes gritty, sandy, well-drained soil and will grow too lush with fewer flowers if the soil is too rich, or with too much water, or you fertilize much. Bush morning glory sometimes self seeds in the garden, coming back year after year. It can become invasive in some conditions.
