A Burst of Color in a Compact Package
Brighten your garden, patio, or windowsill with the cheerful, trumpet-shaped blooms of Dwarf Morning Glory 'Ensign Mix' (Convolvulus tricolor). Unlike its climbing relatives, this charming annual forms a neat, bushy mound, making it the best choice for containers, hanging baskets, borders, and ground cover .

This vibrant mix produces a profusion of 2 to 2.5-inch flowers in a stunning array of colors, including rich blues, bright pinks, pure whites, and deep purples . Each delicate bloom features a striking tri-color pattern with a brilliant golden-yellow center, creating a captivating display that lasts from early summer until the first frost . Growing to a manageable height of just 8-12 inches (20-30 cm), these sun-loving plants are incredibly easy to grow and maintain .

Why You'll Love It:

  • Continuous Blooms: Enjoy non-stop flowers all season long. Removing faded blooms (deadheading) will encourage even more flowers to form .

  • Pollinator-Friendly: The colorful, nectar-rich blooms are a magnet for butterflies, bees, and other beneficial pollinators, adding life and movement to your outdoor space .

  • Versatile & Compact: Ideal for small-space gardening. Use them to edge a sunny pathway, fill a window box, create a stunning container display, or as a fast-growing annual ground cover .

  • Easy-Care & Drought Tolerant: Once established, these hardy annuals are quite drought-tolerant and thrive with minimal fuss, making them a great choice for beginner gardeners .

  • Heirloom Quality: These are non-GMO, high-quality seeds, best for collecting at the end of the season to regrow the following year .

How to Grow Your Dwarf Morning Glory

Sowing Instructions:

  • When to Sow: For an early start, sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost. You can also sow seeds directly outdoors after all danger of frost has passed .

  • Indoor Sowing: Sow seeds 1/8 inch deep in seed trays or small pots filled with seed compost. Maintain a temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C). Germination typically takes 7-21 days .

  • Outdoor Sowing: Choose a location in full sun with well-drained soil. Scatter seeds and rake them in lightly, covering with a thin layer of soil .

Plant Care:

  • Transplanting: After indoor sowing, harden off seedlings for 7-10 days before planting them outside after the last frost. Space plants about 8-12 inches apart .

  • Sun & Soil: These plants thrive in full sun (6-8 hours daily) and prefer lean, well-drained soil. Avoid overly rich soil, which can lead to more leaves than flowers .

  • Watering: Water regularly while plants are young. Once established, they are drought-tolerant. Water during dry spells, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot .

  • Maintenance: Deadhead spent flowers regularly to promote continuous blooming
