Notes
Swamp morning-glory (Ipomoea aquatica) is an annual for groundcover and wet spots. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and average to wet soil. It stays low, at 6 to 12 inches tall, but it can spread wide. Its flowers come in white, pink, and purple.
Pairs well with Rush, Sweetgale, and Miss Jekyll love-in-a-mist.
Native range
