Morning Glory Question

I have several morning glorys. I did plant them a little late, not so bad I would think for this climate which stays much warmer and longer than My question is, are morning glorys self pollenating or cross p. ? Perhaps I should check again? I did as soon a the flowers fell and there were no visible seeds. Thank you fellow shroo mites

I have never grown them myself, but from what Ive read it can take a while for them to actually start producing seeds. But there are methods to hand pollinate them that you can look up online.

they are pollinated by nectar loving insects like bees and bumblebees in my experience every flower has always yielded seeds without my intervention, so i suspect they do self pollinate as well.
you should give it a while. the seeds come where the flowers were, but it takes a while for the pod to grow. right now you should see a little crown with a protrusion in the middle. that protrusion will grow into something resembling a hazelnut containing 2-6 seeds or so. harvest them when they turn brown or wait till the entire plant starts dying off and harvest the whole thing.

Some are reportedly self pollinating while others may not be, I always give the flowers a good bitch slap when I walk by just in case....but I think mine will seed either way.
There was initially a couple day delay from when my flower died vs the seed pods starting to show, so give it a little time.

I can guarantee they self-polinate through wind currents. I had an indoor plant years ago that pollinated itself and flowered/seeded impressively.
It takes at least 4 days to a week for the seed pods to start forming. They are little green balls about 1cm in diameter, they are ready to harvest when they dry out and turn brown. Inside each pod will be 1-6 seeds 
They are perennial if they can survive the winters. I have seen HUGE plants in Santa Rosa, CA covering entire chainlink fences and in full bloom so you did not plant too late if you can overwinter them.
