The Plant ID forum says this is a Morning Glory and that I should post it here for better ID. This is coming up in both of my front yard beds. My question is, if I were to leave it, would it choke out the other plants or just fill in?

I saw this in the Plant ID forum and was tempted to suggest the possibility of it being Ipomoea indica ("Blue Dawnflower"). However, I'm glad to see it got posted here where the true experts are! :-)

Lol. Well, if it's that, based on the PlantFiles, I'd better pull it out quick before it smothers my house and everything in it!!

If you get winter freezes, it won't be that invasive....and it is a beauty, too.

digigirl - I concur with the opinions already offered in that it is Ipomoea indica...

If you train the vine onto something it should be manageable...perhaps transplanting to a large container...

TTY,...

Thanks Ron, I'm told you're the expert! I appreciate the confirmation.

I will try putting some into a container, but the rest of it in my beds is gonna get blasted! I don't want it squeezing out all my other plants.

It's too bad it is so invasive, because it sure looks pretty!
