Morning glory
Ipomoea selections
This fast-growing annual vine is a perfect pick for creating privacy on trellises or chain-link fences during the summer. It produces a profusion of trumpet-shape flowers that open in the morning and usually close by afternoon.
Morning glories can self-seed; some gardeners have found them to be a little pesty. Also: All parts of the plant, but especially the seeds, are poisonous.

I had the same thing happen. I did add some fertilizer (sprinkled on top) even though it says no to, and have tried to water every day. The plant has been blooming more...make sure it gets plenty of sun. I'm in Zone 5 and also had a wet spring and hot summer. Good luck!
8/27/2011 08:59:07 PM Report AbuseI have planted some morning glories in the past with great success. This year I got them out a little late and while the vines are growing and spreading well, I have very few flowers. It has been very hot this summer with several weeks of drought. I watered everyday and now I am wondering if i will have flowers at at all. Any ideas?
