How do sweet peas compare with morning glories in terms of growth
I plant morning glories every year in containers to climb up the walls of my terrace,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but this year am having a lot of trouble with them. When buying the seeds,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I saw sweet peas as well,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and decided to give them a shot,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and unlike the morning glories,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they're doing great so far - I planted them later than the morning glories (less than 2 weeks ago),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and every seed has sprouted and they look very healthy. I'm wondering if I should be planting more sweet peas,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and how they compare with morning glories in a number of areas:
How fast do they grow,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], compared to morning glories? The number one priority is height/volume.
How does their coverage compare,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]? Will they "branch out" as much as morning glories,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]? ~6 morning glories in a rectangular 36" planter fully covered a 6' x 10' section of wall - would the vines from the sweet peas do the same,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]?
Do I need to care for them any differently,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]? I have read that they like colder temperatures. Is a New York summer too hot for them,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]?
When (as in time of day) do they bloom? One frustration with morning glories is that the flowers are only out in the mornings,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and at night when I'm actually there they are gone or shriveled up. I've never had any luck with moonflowers. Will the sweet pea flowers be open at night?
Thanks - I have had a hard time finding answers to these by googling,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and the photos seem to be focused on the flowers and not the vines.
I've got sweet peas on a fence. The fence is only about 4' high,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but they would keep right on going if it was higher -- probably at least 8'. Planted just a handful in the ground (not a planter) last year and they grew in very thick. This spring they've come back,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and brought friends. I'm in NH -- Zone 5,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and summers almost never hit 100°F,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], really just expect to have maybe 2-3 days above 90°F.
I don't specifically remember that much about the timing of the flowers. I think they were open in the afternoon/early evening,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but I don't remember about nighttime.
