    I have just planted a number of seedlings of morning glory but would like to grow my own next year instead of buying the seeds. Can anyone help me with pictures of seed harvest of these plants together with any other helpful information

    Here's the story... :D
    Most Morning Glories will produce loads of seed. The seeds are contained in round pods produced after the flowers die. Wait until the pods look dry and will pull off easily, then separate the seeds by squashing the pod, and keep them dry until Spring.
    If you have several varieties or some are hybrid they will not necessarily come true from seed
    You will often find that in a warm Autumn seedlings will appear all over the place! They are not hardy though.
