Island morning glory

This versatile morning glory can take the form of a low herbaceous vine or a stout, woody, climber approaching 9 meters in length.

The flowers change from white to pale-pink during their long bloom period, which lasts from February through July. It has a handsome appearance even without flowers. In the winter, enjoy its broad, triangular, nearly succulent leaves.

A native to coastal scrub ecosystems, this perennial performs best in sandy or rocky soils. If you live inland, plant it where it can get some afternoon shade. Near coastal fog, it will thrive in full sun. Tolerates heavy pruning.
