My morning glory will not bloom

I purchased a potted morning glory plant at a local nursery this spring. I planted it in the sun with a makeshift trellis. This plant has grown and filled in but no flowers. What am I doing wrong? Or could it be I needed to plant two to cross pollinate?

Morning glory do not transplant well, so perhaps if you planted a seed next year, it would bloom.

I planted morning glory from seed this year and it is growing like crazy but won't bloom either. I would love to know why also.

when is the best time to trim a lilac bush? We trimmed it last fall and have had no flowers this spring. They really need to be trimmed back this fall.

You trim a lilac after the blooms are gone .or you will trim the new blooms of for the next year .In other words they start making there new blooms shortly after the old blooms die .

Morning glories are annuals, so they don't grown again the next year. But they do drop a ton of seeds so it's usually pretty certain you will get new plants each year.

Yep,move it to a sunny spot now while it is still warm.once it blooms,the flowers will produce seeds that will sow themselves for next year!

Cross-pollination is what some plants need to make fruit or seeds, not blossoms. Planting two would have nothing to do with whether or not either would bloom. Oddly enough, if you treat the morning glory too well, it may not bloom. Stress it some, and may bloom faster. Full sun, dry soil, no fertilizer = blooms. Some varieties don't start blooming until late summer. Cool rainy summers may delay blooming.

When is the best time to trim a lilac bush. I trimmed it last fall and this spring we haven't gotten any lilacs. It needs to be trimmed very badly again this fall but I am wondering if it is a good idea? Thank You

You did not get flowers because you trimmed the bush at the wrong time. Flowering spring bushes get tried after they flower.
