Thank you very much for your reply.
The blooming morning glory transplants came from the man who mows for me. I'm not sure of the species.
I will ask how he started them. The flowers are a beautiful dark purple.
The seeds were Ferry-Morse (1) Scarlet O'Hara (2) Grandpa Ott and (3) Heavenly Blue (Ipomoea Tricolor).
I started the seeds indoors with bottom warmth then put them outside.
I have fertilizer sticks I could use if recommended.
Meanwhile, I will enjoy what I have.
