As their name suggests, the funnel-shaped flowers of morning glory open with the sun and usually last only a single morning. They wilt in the afternoon, so new flowers open every day to attract hummingbirds, bees, butterflies, and other insects to your garden. Morning glory is a close relative of the moon flower, which blooms at night for pollination by moths.
Edible sweet potatoes are also a part of the morning glory family. However, you may find it difficult to cultivate these tropical tubers on the West Coast! (Family: Convolvulaceae)
Do not confuse this lovely, HERITAGE tidy climber with the common weed. Indescribable sky-blue flowers open in the morning and fade to rose by afternoon! This very showy climber loves to scramble and twine, bean-like, on twigs, fences, or grapevine trellises. Huge blooms.
