Plant whisterias in a rich, medium loam.  Water heavily during the first summer.  Whisterias require a lot of sunshine and a warm wall to help it flower.

Morning glory likes hot summer weather.  This fast growing, large leaf plant makes an ideal screening plant.  If you start seeds off indoors, do not put them out until the weather has warmed up.
