Could someone please tell me what this vine is? It has small, purple flowers.
I thought I had pulled it all up before a business trip. When I got back it had halfway covered my deck. If you know what it is - great! If you know how to get rid of it - Better!
It is NOT playing nicely with the rest of the garden.
The little spent blooms look just like the wild morning glories we have all over down here. They have 50 leaves to one flower. They must be a bird thang cause I know I didn't plant them in any of my containers & they are everywhere!!!
We call it wild morning glory, and you are right that it does not play nicely. I have a Graham Thomas rose completely wrapped up in it right now. Bindweed may be one of its other common names. However, it is pretty and certainly a survivor. It reseeds prolifically, and we have not been able to eradicate it from our property.
Do the flowers look like this?

I think i ts very pretty, but if you don't want it just pull it up by the roots.
frostweed, the flowers look exactly like this. OK wild morning glory it is. It is now trying to take over my heirloom roses. Its not that I don't want it, its that is is taking over when I have limted time to devote to the garden. It has to go - although I do like its little pretty flowers.
I am planning to come to the RU at Veterans park. Anyone want some of this? You have to tell me now because I am Ramboing it tomorrow afternoon.
Thank you for the offer, but I have those too, I have them in hanging pots and they work great that way, maybe you should try it too.
If you plant to come to the dallas r.u. please put your name on the attendence thread.
Thank you very much, we hope to see you there.
Josephine.
I think everyone that doesn't want it has it! LOL!! If you don't want it to come back there next year, best pull it out before it seeds!
