With a number of Ipomeas going by the name of Morning Glory Bush, we’ve named this tropical woody plant Morning Glory Tree. They do resemble small trees with their heights of 5 to 6 feet in a single season. The large pink saucer-shaped flowers are produced all summer into fall on these easy to grow plants. An excellent choice as a tender tropical for beds and containers in zones 7 and north as their seeds are produced too freely further south. I’ve grown them for years in our zone 6b Stillwater gardens and rarely see any seed.
