Growing in Pakistan
Morning Glory is a warm-season climber that thrives in Pakistani heat. For Punjab, Sindh, and most plain regions, sow from February–April for spring–summer blooms, and again from August–September for autumn flowering. In cooler northern hill areas (Murree, Swat, Hunza), sow March–June. Soak seeds overnight before sowing to speed germination (7–15 days). Provide full sun, well-drained soil, and a sturdy trellis or grill for climbing. Tolerates lean soils — too much fertiliser produces lots of leaves and few flowers.
