I personally have two cats at my house and I have never had a problem with them trying to eat any of the leaves or flowers of the morning glory plant. Animals are pretty smart when it comes to which ones to eat and other ones which they shouldn't. Cats and dogs just prefer to eat grass, so make sure that there isn't any harmful pesticide on your lawn, as that will cause more harm to them than the morning glory plants will. Just plant them and enjoy.

At your house, if you are one of the fortunate ones to have a white picket fence surrounding it, then the one plant to put there, sprawling all over the fence, is the beautiful morning glory. Pergolas are also a structure, where they will climb and make a beautiful showing over your deck. A trellis is also a perfect place for this vine to grow up and twine itself all over, clinging to all parts of the trellis, making a wonderful showing.

You can buy the hybrid ones and they come in all different colors, pink, white, burgundy and different tones of blue.

The most popular is the large flowered blue one, which shows up so well against any structure, which you might want. The best way to start your morning glory seeds, is to soak them in water overnight, as the seed is very hard and soaking them will start them to open enough, to give them a good start when you plant them.

They like water, so even when you plant them, water them well and then sprinkle some water on them each morning through the whole season.

In a very short time, you will find that they will come through the soil and not long after that, they will be looking for somewhere to cling and wrap themselves around.

Their name is a bit of a give away as to when they bloom. First thing, as you wake up in the morning, they will be in bloom, especially if they are facing to the east, getting the morning sun.

They do prefer being in the sun, so plant them where they will get lots of it, and also plant them just outside your kitchen, so that when you wake up and are having your breakfast, they will start your day off beautifully, with their lovely colors. The flowers will not last very long, but tomorrow morning, there will be new ones blooming.

If you allow them to let the seeds fall where they have bloomed, you will be treated to them coming up the following year, without having to plant them again.

My personal preference is to plant a mixture of colors and size of blooms together, then you will be treated to all the different colors. You will be the envy of the neighborhood and people will be asking you, what kind of flower you have growing.
