The morning glory is one of the most beautiful, flowering vines offering a range of colors from magenta to purples and light blues. Flower sizes vary as well, from giant trumpet-like blooms to more compact models. Flowers only last one day, but they are prolific bloomers.

If you have the right conditions—a fence or trellis with average soil and lots of morning sun—you should have no trouble with this plant. If your conditions are iffy, the morning glory can definitely be a challenge.

Hint: When planting from seed, soak seeds in warm water overnight to soften the outer shell before planting.
