Nurturing Bush Morning Glory: A Beginner’s Guide to Planting and Growing

Bush morning glory is a perfect choice for those who love big, bold colors in their garden. This plant boasts stunning colored blooms in yellow, white, and rich blue, with several more subdued shades also available. The plant has heart-shaped foliage in medium green that serves as a lovely backdrop for the standout flowers. A great alternative to morning glory vines, bush morning glories are shrubby annuals that do not climb or twine, making them ideal for small spaces like balconies or patios. They grow well in full sun with well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil and are drought-tolerant. Bush morning glory can be propagated through seed and is relatively easy to care for, requiring full sun, well-drained soil, and regular watering when it is young. It prefers warm weather and is not bothered by high humidity. Bush morning glory comes in different varieties such as ‘Royal Ensign’, ‘Red Ensign’, and ‘Blue Enchantment’. The plant can also be grown alongside other flowering plants like signet marigold, flowering tobacco, and golden feverfew.
