Morning Glory seed mix
These are another staple for us each year. Morning glories have earned their name due to the nature of how they grow. These will blossom into an explosion of pink, white, fuchsia, and purple semi-star-shaped dainty flowers as soon as the sun comes up, only to shrivel and fade out a few hours later. The flowers themselves have a lifespan of a few hours, but the good news is, when the blooms die off for the day, there is an arsenal of new blooms right behind them, ready to open the next day. These do attract hummingbirds and bees on account of their large surface area and bright colors.
These look stunning on cattle panels, trellises, pergolas, chain link fencing, or even trees.
