Black-eyed Susan
Scientifically known as the Rudbeckia hirta, they are annual climber, flowering from mid-summer to late autumn. These cheerful yellow blossoms are one of the better options to pair with morning glories.
Since they are also climbers these tender evergreens will ramble up any short trellis and trails while attracting a parade of pollinators like bees and butterflies.

Juniper
The morning glory flowers grow well with evergreen shrubs, such as junipers. These hardy evergreen plants adapt to just about any soil that drains well, making them a good option because they are low maintenance. When established junipers are drought tolerant, meaning they won’t compete with morning glories for nutrients.
Mandevilla
A classic tropical vine mandevilla flowers add a vertical colour design to your garden. The vine has big showy blooms that last all summer and it’s low-maintenance. These vines are all about the big, tropical-looking blooms. They come in shades of pink, red, and sometimes white, adding a spectacular colour display when paired with the morning glories.

Marigolds
Marigolds and morning glories know when summer is here. Their bright colours do so well when paired together. Both need full sunlight to grow and bloom well. If spaced apart correctly, morning glories will not overwhelm the marigolds. The marigold will cover the ground while the morning glory vines do the climbing.
