Recommended Soil / Potting Mix

Use:

60% Bhalu Mitti / Sandy Soil + 30% GREEN GARDENS Vermicompost + 10% Cocopeat

Loose, moderately fertile and well-draining.

Avoid:

• Heavy compact soil

• Poor drainage

• Continuous waterlogging

Growing Instructions from Seeds

Sow the seeds approximately:

0.5–1 cm deep

in seedling trays, pots, grow bags or directly into prepared garden soil.

Seeds may be sown directly into their final flowering position where conditions are suitable.

Keep the growing medium:

Lightly and consistently moist until germination.

Once seedlings become established, thin them if necessary to maintain good airflow and adequate growing space.

Germination

Seeds generally germinate within:

7–14 days

under suitable conditions.

For successful germination:

• Use fresh seeds

• Maintain mild-to-warm temperatures

• Keep the medium lightly moist

• Avoid sowing too deeply

• Maintain good drainage

• Avoid continuous waterlogging

Plant Spacing

Maintain approximately:

20–30 cm / 8–12 inches between plants

to allow each plant sufficient space to develop its natural bushy and spreading habit.

Sunlight

Provide:

Full sun

For compact growth and abundant flowering:

6+ hours of direct sunlight daily

is recommended where possible.

Watering

Water regularly while seedlings are becoming established.

After establishment:

Water when the upper soil layer begins to dry.

Keep the soil moderately moist but never continuously wet.

Good drainage is particularly important.

Growth Habit

Unlike many Ipomoea Morning Glory varieties, Convolvulus tricolor is not a vigorous tall climbing vine.

It generally develops a:

Compact, bushy and spreading habit

and usually does not require a trellis.

This makes it particularly useful for:

• Flower beds

• Borders

• Pots

• Patio containers

• Grow bags

• Low flowering displays

Feeding

At planting time, mix:

GREEN GARDENS Vermicompost

into the growing medium.

Convolvulus performs well in moderately fertile, well-draining soil.

Avoid excessive nitrogen fertilizer, as overly rich feeding may encourage foliage growth at the expense of flowering.
