🌞 Growing & Care Guide for Dwarf Morning Glory (Common Names: Blue Daze, Blue My Mind, Brazilian Dwarf Morning Glory)

☀️ Sunlight & Soil

  • Requires 6–8 hours of full sun daily for continuous flowering.

  • Prefers loamy, well-drained soil with slightly acidic to neutral pH (5.5–7.0).

  • Thrives in garden beds, borders, or containers with lightweight potting mix.

  • Avoid heavy, clay soil to prevent root rot.

💧 Watering

  • Water regularly when young to help establish roots.

  • Once established, drought tolerant, making it a great choice for low-maintenance gardens.

  • Provide about ½–1 inch of water per week, ensuring soil doesn’t stay soggy.

  • Overwatering may lead to root rot.

🌱 Fertilization

  • Apply general-purpose liquid fertilizer once a month during spring and summer.

  • Avoid fertilizing in winter for perennial plants.

  • Planting in compost-enriched soil boosts flower production.

✂️ Pruning

  • Pinch back stems during early growth to promote bushier plants.

  • Hard prune late in the season if stems become scraggly.

  • No deadheading required—flowers are self-cleaning.

🍂 Mulching

  • Apply a thin layer of organic mulch around the base to retain moisture.

  • Helps keep soil cool in hot climates and reduces weeds.

🐛 Pest & Disease Control

  • Generally pest-free and disease-resistant.

  • Watch for problems only if grown in poor-draining soil, which can cause root rot.

🌱 Support for Young Plants

  • Best started from nursery pots, seeds, or cuttings.

  • Provide regular watering during establishment.

  • Propagation possible by stem cuttings in summer for new plants identical to the parent.

🍎 Harvesting

  • Not edible, but you can collect seeds at the end of the season for propagation.

  • Flowers bloom daily and replenish themselves throughout the season.

🍃 Thinning

  • Space plants 2–3 feet apart for best air circulation and growth.

  • Thin overcrowded stems to avoid legginess and maintain shape.

❄️ Winter Protection

  • Hardy in zones 8–11, perennial in warm climates.

  • In colder climates, treat as an annual or bring indoors to overwinter.

  • Cut back stems and reduce watering during dormancy.
