Morning Glory
Ipomoea Tricolor
Overview
Morning Glory (Ipomoea tricolor) is a fast-growing, climbing annual, renowned for its vibrant trumpet-shaped flowers. Blossoms, typically 3-5 inches across, unfurl in the early morning to display hues of blue, purple, pink, or white, often with a contrasting star. Its heart-shaped leaves reach up to 5 inches long. Thriving in full sun, it requires well-draining soil and a structure to climb, reaching heights of up to 10 feet.
