How to get rid of morning glory

There are people who absolutely adore morning glories. They look for all of the different colors and varieties that there may be. They just seem to like this prolifically blooming annual flower. Morning glories may be the perfect flowering plant to grow in certain situations, especially when you don't have other plants or flowers growing anywhere near them.



If morning glories are that pretty, why would anyone want to get rid of them? Quite simply, because they are unbelievably invasive. Although morning glories are technically considered annuals, their ability to reseed and to spread those seeds across large areas makes them invasive almost to the point of being unmanageable.

*The problems morning glories can cause

Morning glories have very thin vines, but those vines tend to twine together. They also have tendrils at the end of leaves that can make it possible for the vines to attach themselves to all sorts of things in their vicinity or path. That means that the stems of morning glories will not only become entwined with one another, but they will look for supports, even if the support is another plant.

When morning glories start to grow up or around another plant, the vines will grow very quickly and with such vigor that they can wrap themselves around the plant so tightly that the plant has no room to grow any more. Once they become deeply entwined, you will literally have to rip the vines to untangle the mess that they have woven around the poor plant.

*Getting rid of morning glories

Getting rid of morning glories can be incredibly difficult to do. The flowers bloom in the morning and close up long before noon. The more flowers that you see from your morning glories, the more likely it is that there will be seeds that can spill out from the seed pods that aren't easily visible and fly in every direction imaginable.

Morning glory seeds will fly around in the wind, get transported by birds, or just sprout up somewhere without your ever knowing how that happened. Even if you don't plant morning glories again, that first planting will assure you of an abundance of blooms year after year.

*Pull the seedlings and/or plants up

To really get rid of your morning glories, you will have to be vigilant about pulling seedlings or plants up whenever and wherever you see them. You will have to do this on a daily basis, at the very least. In addition, while it's perfectly acceptable to toss certain plants that you pull up into your compost heap, you don't want to do that with morning glories ever. The warm and moist environment of the compost heap will ensure that you have an even greater abundance of morning glories because of seeds that simply germinated.

Be careful where you plant your morning glories if you really want to grow them. Don't plant them near other plants, especially taller plants that can act as supports. If you do want to keep the morning glories, you may want to pick off the flowers after they bloom to ensure that the plants can't produce any seeds that could become additional flowers.

Although there is something incredibly cheery and summer-like about waking up to multi-colored morning glories blooming all over the place, that appreciation will be short lived when you realize that even as long as 5 years after you've planted those seeds, you'll still be fighting to get rid of the plants and to prevent them from smothering your other plants and taking over your yard or garden completely.
