    Hello,

    My recently planted morning glories seem to have slowed down in growth and have a strange, yellowish spotting on the leaves. I have a attached a photo. Please help!

    Where I come from Morning Glory is a complete pest... It chokes riverbanks... I have been having an ongoing war with it for 2 years on my back fence

    But in any case, looks like it could be an insect problem.check to see if there are any small sapsuckers on it.

    sorry if I'm no help

    Thanks for the reply, but there is no evidence of bugs on the plants. Any other ideas? Should I just pull them out and get new plants? They're still youngish, and haven't flowered yet.

    I guess that depends on how bad it gets. The plant may recover, as it is a very hardy grower. Is it inside or out?
