Seed pod not forming on my morning glory

Post by **khabbab** » May 12th, 2011, 10:23 am

The cultivar is "maisugata". 5 flowers bloomed and died a week ago but still there is no seed pod. Plant is in pot. Any tips? Can some one educate on when seed pods form and why they do not form.

Age, let it mature... hand pollinate it, only one of the MGs Tahir send me is forming pods and it is the largest one... and guess what my Disco belle Hibiscus has also started forming a pod... yuppiee

... now I will be able to share the seeds with my gardening friends here..

Actually hand pollinate every bloom so as to maximize the chances of pod formation...

Here is the picture of maisugata. This one i am intentionally growing dwarf. The one in soil bed is growing upwards. Will try hand pollination as suggested by izhar.
