15 Stunning Morning Glory Varieties to Brighten Your Garden
Morning glories are like the radishes of the flowering vine world – easy to grow, fast-growing, and beautiful to behold. These colorful flowers are perfect for adorning your garden with a burst of color and can quickly cover fences, walls, and trellises.
Most types of morning glory are annuals, unless you live in USDA Hardiness Zone 10 or 11, where they may reseed themselves for a repeat performance next year. If you want to avoid aggressive self-seeding, be sure to remove the plants in the late fall before they produce seeds everywhere.
No matter which variety you choose, morning glories enjoy full sun, moderate watering, and can thrive in various soil types. Before you start planting, make sure to brush up on proper growing techniques by checking out our complete morning glory growing guide.
Let’s explore some of the top morning glory varieties that you can add to your garden for a stunning display:
