I have 3 Lavender moonvines that started from seeds a few months ago. They grew very fast, produced a few flowers and now they are going nuts producing a lot of seeds. I might have collected for sure more than 100 seeds in the last 3 weeks. Is that normal? I hardly enjoyed the flowers, they were just a few and very fast!
Will they die sometime? I live in the north of the Negev and it never freezes here, I was wondering if they are perennial here.

capaula - Ipomoea turbinata is usually an annual but somtimes a short-lived perennial...keeping the rootstock covered with a mulch of sawdust/woodchips with some hardwood ashes mixed in will help protect and preserve the root...

Each seedpod must be produced from a flower,so if you have alot of seedpods then >there was at least 1 flower for each seedpod...

TTY,...

i'm thinking they maybe are blooming at night, that is why you dont' see the flowers?? I dont' really know though, I've not grown this one.. or the flowers are really small and hide behind the leaves.
