They re-seed themselves, don't they? (I used to have them years ago)
So let them go to seed and then replant the seeds where ever you want them. I don't see how you could transplant them because they attach themselves to everything they can.... how would you "un-attach" them? |

morning glories reseed and are annual plants. So the ones you are trying to move will die in the fall and will only regrown from seeds they shed. You will have to move the seedlings in the spring when they come up... and then rip out what you don't want. You have to watch it with morning glories. If the go untamed for more then a season they can become invasive!

i had no idea they were annuals, thank you! so wait til they pop up next year, right in the beginning and transplant and then they will reseed themselves in that area?

I collect the seeds and start them inside and move them out where I want them in spring that way they get going earlier then nature allows.
Just remember to remove all growth where you don't want them growing in the earliest spring time you can. I've been removing self sowing seed up until August for morning glory, coneflower and night lilies for awhile now. Its now September and I'm STILL removing night lily and sprouting foxglove!!!
Its okay though.... I am putting in more raised beds so next spring they can spread and I won't remove any.
