Cutting Morning Glory Vines?

Hi! I grew morning glories for the first time last year and I am wondering if I should go ahead and remove the vines, which have obviously died during the winter. For future reference: does it matter if/when I remove the vines? Are you supposed to do it in fall or spring? Thanks for your help!

It depends where you live. I assume these are annual morning glories that have bloomed and set seed? If so new plants will come up as self-sowers. So it would be more attractive for you to cut down the tangle of old vines now. Hope this helps, in this forum which is heavily West Coast readers, it would be nice to mention where you live in order to give accurate advice.

Thank you! I live in Massachusetts. I'm an urban gardener so my morning glories grew out of a long planter. I am wondering if there will be any new self-sowers given that I used a planter and have no lawn. Even if there aren't I already started some seeds indoors last week and they're already popping up. Anyway, thank you for the advice.

we grow these in our nursery and we never take them up. they do not winter kill easily. We are in a zone 5-6 (mtn area Tn) and they do well and are fast spreaders too.
