Plant morning glory 8 to 12 inches apart. Propagating morning glory vine: Start new vines from seed. Soak the seeds in water for 24 hours before planting to speed germination. In the North, earlier bloom can be achieved by starting indoors in peat pots 4 to 6 weeks before planting out. Germination takes 5 to 7 days at 70 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
Here's my tip: Make sure they are in FULL sun. They grow best, meaning tallest, when they are basking in the sun most of the day. My experience was that the blooms on annual sunflowers last only about 2 weeks before they droop. If you want continuous blooms, plant seeds every 2 weeks. Also, the blue jays, cardinals and other birds in my back yard loved the sunflowers and it was fun to watch them dive and feed.
