Notes
Morning glory (Ipomoea mauritiana) is a vine for annual beds. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full sun and average moisture. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. It climbs 120 to 180 inches tall and bears pink to reddish-pink flowers.
Pairs well with Mandevilla, Lantana, Button flower, and Lemon grass.
