What color is yours?
Sorry, Daturapod. I don't have a Ipomoea arborescens plant. But I would be interested to see what your blooms look like. Do you have any photos of it when in bloom?
Becky, think this one has white blooms.
I have the pink one rooted if yours is white - let's trade! PLMK
I stand corrected since Kay has a pink one. For some reason, I was
thinking Ron told us arborescens is white.
Edited for spelling

I am the confused one! I must have Ipomoea carnea.
Kay, I stay confused. Really it's better for me that way. LOL
Oh, ME, TOO! I just say 'I dunno' and people look at me funny and go away!
LOLOL
Ipomoea carnea ssp. fistulosa
aka I. fistulosa
is the "Bush Morning Glory"
Ipomoea arborescens
is the "Tree Morning Glory"
Oh the 2 side shoot have grown nearly 5 feet now... Yea!

ok so where can u buy tree morning glories? i have the bush ones
It took me 11 yrs to get my first one. So I am going to make it so easy for all you all!!!!
greenman@greenmangardens.net
is my friend Kevin. He has gotten several different batches of seeds from different areas.
So if you order 2 different seedlings you should be able to seeds down the road from them crossing. I have ordered several for myself. I don't want to miss out on getting a gene pool like he can offer.
put sub: Ipomoea arborescens
you lucky dogs you....

Mine grows about 8' tall - STILL don't know which one I have - it was given to me as 'bush' mg.
Kay - If you have Ipomoea carnea, it should bloom from Spring through Fall for you. I know it does that here in this part of Florida. I see them around the area and they get about 8-10' tall. I think they also come in white, pink, and a lavender color of blooms.
Does anyone have photos of the blooms of Ipomoea arborescens? I'd be interested to see them for comparison.
