The Best Annual Vines for Your Garden

We've pulled together a gallery of the best annual vines.

morning glory

 

Morning Glory (Ipomoea tricolor)

This fast-growing vine produces colorful blooms in shades of blue, purple, pink, and white. Some varieties offer extra appeal with bicolored flowers or white-variegated foliage. As its name implies, the flowers are only open in the morning. The vine climbs to 15 feet or more and grows best in a sunny spot. Note: In some gardens, morning glory can self-seed profusely. Also, while the plant is easy to start from seed, it can take four months or more to bloom. It's helpful to start it early in short-season areas.
