Ipomoea nil
Description
Ipomoea nil, commonly called morning glory, is an annual vine in the Convolvulaceae family, native to tropical regions. Its trumpet-shaped flowers, typically blue, purple, or white, bloom in the morning and close up by afternoon. Growing 6-10 feet long, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it ideal for trellises or fences. Morning glories are fast-growing and attract pollinators like bees. They self-seed easily, requiring minimal care, but can become invasive in some areas. Their vibrant blooms add vertical interest to gardens.
