The Shaggy Dwarf Morning Glory (Convolvulus sabatius), also known as Trailing Bindweed, is a unique and vibrant flowering plant that offers a burst of color and charm in smaller spaces. This compact variety of morning glory is perfect for gardeners looking to add a colorful ground cover or a hanging basket plant with minimal maintenance. Known for its bright, funnel-shaped flowers that bloom from spring to fall, the Shaggy Dwarf Morning Glory is a fast-growing, low-maintenance option for creating stunning, vibrant displays in gardens, patios, or containers.
With its trailing habit and lush green foliage, this perennial plant thrives in full sun, producing an abundance of vivid flowers in hues of blue, purple, or white. Its compact size makes it an ideal choice for border plantings, hanging baskets, or window boxes. If you’re seeking a hardy, easy-to-grow plant that provides non-stop blooms and a splash of color, the Shaggy Dwarf Morning Glory is an excellent choice.
Key Features:
- Flower Color: Vibrant blue, purple, or white funnel-shaped flowers that bloom prolifically throughout the growing season.
- Flower Size: Small to medium-sized blooms, typically 1-2 inches across, with a delightful trumpet shape.
- Bloom Time: Blooms from late spring through fall, providing long-lasting color throughout the warmer months.
- Growth Habit: A trailing, spreading plant that reaches about 6-12 inches in height and can spread up to 18-24 inches wide. Ideal for hanging baskets, containers, or as ground cover.
- Light Requirements: Thrives in full sun (at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day) for the best flowering and overall health.
- Watering Needs: Prefers moderate watering with well-draining soil. Once established, it is somewhat drought-tolerant but performs best with consistent moisture.
Care Instructions for Shaggy Dwarf Morning Glory
Light: Shaggy Dwarf Morning Glory thrives in full sun, which encourages its abundant flowering. It requires at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day to produce the best blooms. While it can tolerate some partial shade, the plant will likely flower less profusely in shaded conditions.
Watering: This plant enjoys consistently moist soil, but it is important not to overwater. Water the Shaggy Dwarf Morning Glory when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Be sure that the soil is well-draining to prevent water from pooling around the roots, which could cause rot. Once established, it is somewhat drought-tolerant but will perform better with regular moisture, especially during the heat of summer.
Soil: Shaggy Dwarf Morning Glory grows best in well-draining soil that is slightly acidic to neutral. It will tolerate a variety of soil types, including sandy or loamy soil. If planting in containers, use a high-quality potting mix designed for flowers or hanging baskets.
Temperature: This plant thrives in warm temperatures and is best suited to USDA hardiness zones 9-11. It is sensitive to frost, so if you live in colder climates, it is best grown as an annual or brought indoors during the winter months. The Shaggy Dwarf Morning Glory prefers daytime temperatures of 70-85°F (21-29°C) and nighttime temperatures of 60-65°F (15-18°C).
Fertilization: Feed your Shaggy Dwarf Morning Glory every 4-6 weeks during the growing season with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. A formula like 10-10-10 works well to support vigorous growth and blooming. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers. In the fall, reduce or stop fertilizing to allow the plant to naturally prepare for dormancy.
Pruning: To maintain a tidy appearance and encourage new growth, regularly remove spent flowers and dead or damaged leaves. You can also trim back the plant if it becomes too leggy or unruly, especially when grown in containers or hanging baskets. Pruning encourages the plant to grow more vigorously and produce more blooms.
Support: While the Shaggy Dwarf Morning Glory is a trailing variety, it can also be trained to grow vertically on trellises or other supports. For hanging baskets or containers, allow the plant to cascade down for a lovely, trailing effect. If planted as ground cover, it will naturally spread and fill in gaps.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How often should I water my Shaggy Dwarf Morning Glory?
A: Water your Shaggy Dwarf Morning Glory regularly, ensuring the soil remains consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. While the plant is somewhat drought-tolerant once established, it will perform best with consistent moisture, especially during the summer months.
Q: Can the Shaggy Dwarf Morning Glory be grown in containers?
A: Yes! The Shaggy Dwarf Morning Glory is perfect for containers, hanging baskets, and window boxes. It has a trailing growth habit, making it an excellent choice for creating cascading displays. Just ensure the container has good drainage and use a high-quality potting mix for the best results.
Q: Does the Shaggy Dwarf Morning Glory need full sun?
A: Yes, this plant thrives in full sun and needs at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day to produce the best blooms. While it can tolerate partial shade, it will likely flower less and grow more slowly in low-light conditions.
Q: Is the Shaggy Dwarf Morning Glory annual or perennial?
A: The Shaggy Dwarf Morning Glory is typically grown as an annual in cooler climates (zones 9-11). In warmer regions, it can be grown as a perennial. If you’re growing it in colder climates, you may need to treat it as an annual and replant it each year, or bring it indoors for the winter.
Q: How can I encourage more blooms on my Shaggy Dwarf Morning Glory?
A: To encourage more blooms, ensure the plant gets enough sunlight (at least 6 hours of direct sun) and water it consistently. Deadheading (removing spent flowers) can also help promote additional blooms and maintain a tidy appearance.
Q: Can I grow Shaggy Dwarf Morning Glory as ground cover?
A: Yes! The Shaggy Dwarf Morning Glory is an excellent ground cover plant. It will spread up to 18-24 inches wide, filling in gaps in flower beds or borders with its trailing vines and vibrant flowers.
