Ipomoea indica * Ocean Blue Morning Glory

Ipomoea indica is on my list of most beautiful but obnoxious plants.  The Ocean Blue Morning Glory spreads by seed as well as by rooting everywhere it touches the ground.  Ipomoea indica is relatively frost tender.  The top is killed when temperatures reach the mid-20's.  Unfortunately the roots will survive and Ipomoea indica is great about coming back from next to nothing.  I loved this plant until I started trying to take care of them.  Ipomoea indica put me past all patience with the relentless invasion into places where I did not want it to be.  Ipomoea indica can swallow not just a small house, but a large one too.  And it can do that in a single season only to be burnt back by the frost and do it again.

High resolution images of Ipomoea indica are available.
