Answers: Hello,
I love morning glories too-but be circumspect. As a landscaper for many years, I discern compelled to warn you that they can be profusely invasive. Even though they are technically classified as an annual flower in masses zones, they commonly invade and twine around entire beds of plants and shrubs short having planted them surrounded by that location. They may return year after year. Also they can travel from yard to patio and cover long distances. A neighbor's vine could be the culprit. If you must plant them-I would try containing them to pots or containers. You can sink a pot two thirds of the way into the soil and remove it at season's failure. There's still the problem of seeds dropping or becoming airborne-so assume it through.
For me, there are two ways to picture the problem.
1. They create employment opportunities for me similar to weeding followed by heavily built mulching.
2.They could easily verbs the beautiful garden bed I created within a prior season.
Check out these alternatives that are easy, prolific and non invasive. (Links below-and yes, I've tried and one-sidedly recommend these other climbers) You can enjoy duplicate beauty in need the headache of tearing them out of unwanted areas year after year. Good luck and please, don't permit this response discourage your gardening impulses or wet your spirit. It's a hobby that will give you a lifetime of pleasure.
