We investigated the long-term enjoyment of morning glory (Ipomoea nil (L.) Roth.), a well-known climbing herb, through the use of flower planter cultivation to plan for use as a decorative plant in the midsummer period. Extension of plant height after permanent planting was slow when compared with "Scarlett O'Hara" and "Purple" for "Akatsuki-no kurenai" and "Danjuro", which were seeded in May and planted in place in July. Because the shift to side branch blooms occurred soon after the main culm, "Akatsuki-no kurenai" showed a smooth increase in bloom count after the first floral bloom. We worry about increase of a weighting load and seed scatter on "Scarlett O'Hara" who planted a place. The kind and a device of selection on a seeding day and a preparation mood including side branch managements were important to products of the decorative plant used in a period at midsummer. It is suggested that not only does the timing of planting affect the onset and duration of anthesis in the morning glory, but also the length of the main stem, continuity of blooming along lateral branches of the main stem, and the number of flowers on the main stem. Without planting potted plants grown with long-term training established the method of making new ornamental decoration for morning glory. By using "Rice husk charcoal" as the medium in a pot made of paper, both of which could be incinerated as combustible waste, it was possible to reduce the weight of potted plant by approximately half. In this way, a new ornamental decoration material has been developed. It is possible to enjoy a short-term and local Japanese-style space in a period midsummer.
