Iconic garden morning glories
When most people think of morning glories, it's the tall or common morning glory (Ipomoea purpurea) that they envision. It's a vine native to Mexico, Central and South America, but its beautiful blossoms and vigorous growth even in poor conditions have made it a garden favorite around the world. There are hundreds of named cultivars.
Each delicate flower lasts only one day and they look best in the morning when they first open; hence the name "morning glory."
