Select the optimal location for the morning glory
The Morning Glory, which is related to the funnel winds, is usually cultivated as a one-year creeper due to its short-lived nature and sensitivity to cold. The fast-growing plant with the magnificent flowers is ideal for hiding ugly garden corners or as a splash of color on a balcony.

While tree trunks can also serve as a climbing aid for the morning glory in the garden, nets and bamboo sticks can be used as climbing aids on the balcony.
Tips
The easy-to-maintain Morning Glory is often used to beautify ugly old garden fences or firewood stacks during the gardening season.
