When do Morning Glories Bloom?
Core introduction: Information on when morning glories bloom and a brief introduction to the knowledge of growing morning glories for appreciation of their blooming period. Next is a comprehensive introduction.
Morning glories are also known as trumpet flowers, and summer is the best season for appreciating them. They bloom at around 4-5 AM and most of the flowers will wither by noon. The flowers are colorful, with the sepals' edges displaying various colors such as pink, purple, blue, and bicolor varieties. They are suitable for cultivation in gardens or on walls, adding to the aesthetic appeal. Let's now introduce in detail the season when trumpet flowers bloom.
1. Season of blooming
Trumpet flowers are annual herbs that bloom in summer and autumn, with a large number of flowers, making them highly ornamental. They can be sown in spring, and the flowers will bloom in summer and autumn. The flower shape resembles a trumpet, hence the name. Those sown in November can bloom in April of the following year, those planted in January bloom in May, those in April bloom in July, and those in July bloom in September. Morning glories require at least 12 hours of daylight daily and a nighttime temperature not lower than 10°C to bloom throughout the year.
2. Time of blooming each day
The blooming period of trumpet flowers is from June to September. The flowers open at around 4-5 AM. In summer, with hot weather and strong sunlight, the petals of trumpet flowers are very thin, and moisture evaporates quickly under sunlight, resulting in most flowers withering by noon. They can be grown in shaded places to extend the blooming time.
3. Maintenance methods during the blooming period
When trumpet flowers start to develop buds, a moderate amount of fertilizer can be applied to promote more nutrient absorption by the plants. Choose dilute liquid fertilizers and apply them frequently. Fertilizing is prohibited during blooming to avoid burning the roots and causing plant wilt. During summer, they can be moved to a cool and well-ventilated place or shaded with a shading cloth. After the flowers wither, use a sanitized pair of scissors to promptly remove the spent flowers to prevent the loss of a large amount of nutrients.
