Ipomoea selections

Morning glory

This fast-growing annual vine is a perfect pick for creating privacy on trellises or chain-link fences during the summer. It produces a profusion of trumpet-shape flowers that open in the morning and usually close by afternoon.

Morning glories can self-seed; some gardeners have found them to be a little pesty. Also: All parts of the plant, but especially the seeds, are poisonous.
