Morning glories are also known as trumpet flowers, and summer is the best season for enjoying them. The blooming time is around 4-5 AM, and by noon, most of the flowers will wither. The flowers of morning glories are colorful, with the edges of the sepals presenting various colors such as pink, purple, blue, and bicolor varieties. They are suitable for cultivation in gardens or on walls, enhancing the aesthetic appeal. Let's introduce in detail the season when trumpet flowers bloom.
1. blooming season
Morning glories are annual herbs that bloom in summer and autumn, producing a large number of flowers with high ornamental value. They can be sown in spring, and the flowers will bloom in summer and autumn. The flower shape resembles a trumpet, hence the name. Flowers sown in November can bloom in April of the following year, those planted in January can bloom in May, April planted ones in July, and July sown in September. Morning glories require over 12 hours of sunlight daily and a nighttime temperature not lower than 10℃ to bloom throughout the year.
2. blooming time each day
The flowering period of morning glories is from June to September. The flowers will open at around 4-5 AM. In the hot summer sun, the petals of morning glories, which are very thin, quickly lose moisture under sunlight, causing them to wither by noon. They can be placed in a shady spot to extend the blooming time.
3. flowering care methods
When morning glories start to develop flower buds, a moderate amount of fertilizer can be applied to promote the absorption of more nutrients by the plants. Use a dilute liquid fertilizer and apply frequently. Fertilizing is prohibited during flowering to avoid burning the roots and causing plant wilt. In summer, they can be moved to a cool and well-ventilated place or shaded with a sunshade cloth. After the flowers wither, use a disinfected pair of scissors to promptly remove the残花 (I'm not sure about the translation of this character, assuming it's a typo and should be '残花' meaning 'withered flowers') to avoid the loss of a large amount of nutrients.
The above introduction to when morning glories usually bloom and a comprehensive method for enjoying the flowering period of morning glories is hoped to be a modest contribution that can solve your problems with green plants.
