    3. Sully, I do not know where you heard that Morning Glories die out with freezing temperatures. Maybe those from seed would. The ones I always had in my garden when I lived in the old farmhouse never died. I would have been so disappointed if they had. That included the winter of 78 blizzard in Indiana. My biggest problem was trying to keep them where I wanted them. When they first come up they look a lot like baby green beans. I had them in every color possible and some were even tri-colored. I considered them God's contribution to my garden. A glorious sight when the sun started coming up, add a litte dew and I would stand watching in amazement as the colors would change with the rising of the sun.
