Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about Flying Saucers Morning Glory seed preparation, flowering, and climbing growth.
Do Flying Saucers Morning Glory seeds need soaking before planting?
Soaking can help water penetrate the hard seed coat. Carefully nick the seed coat without damaging the inside of the seed, then soak it in warm water for about 12–24 hours. Sow the seeds in warm, well-drained soil and keep the growing medium lightly moist until germination.
Why is my Flying Saucers Morning Glory vine growing leaves but not flowers?
Excessive nitrogen fertilizer, insufficient sunlight, or unsuitable growing conditions can delay flowering. Provide at least six hours of direct sunlight daily, avoid excessive feeding, and allow the vine time to mature. Flowering also depends on temperature and the length of the growing season.
How tall does Flying Saucers Morning Glory grow, and what support does it need?
Flying Saucers Morning Glory can climb approximately 8–12 feet under favorable growing conditions. Provide a sturdy trellis, fence, arch, or similar structure for its twining stems. Plant spacing and mature height may vary with climate, soil conditions, and available support.
