Ipomoea Species, Morning Glory, Bush Yam

I am very interested to obtain some Ipomoea abrupta and proceeded to conduct a thorough web search and I am unable to find any seeds or p...Read Morelants of this species anywhere.

My websearch produced results in very sharp contrast to what is reported by grovespirit.

grovespirit has made the comment that includes :

""this pretty flowering vine has become an invasive horror in Hawaii and is choking out numerous rare and threatened species there. Folks have tried to control its spread in Hawaii, a seemingly losing battle... this plant is taking over nature preserves, despite control efforts"

I would invite each person to conduct their own search and if you are able to find a page ( not simply an abbreviated google result) that indicates that there are any Ipomoea abrupta plants in Hawaii, please post here and / or contact me privately as this inquiring mind really wants to know fact from fiction.

I can find not a shred of evidence at all that Ipomoea abrupta is invading Hawaii , in fact I can not find any evidence that there is even a single Ipomoea abrupta plant in Hawaii at all , let alone anything resembling the comment made by grovespirit and I would appreciate it if grovespirit could supply me with even one page that indicates that Ipomoea abrupta exists at all in Hawaii.

There is a distinct possibility that a person performing a google search could get an extremely mistaken impression if the 'researcher' only 'scanned' the abbreviated google results , you can get the false impression that Ipomoea abrupta is in Hawaii, but if you actually click onto and read the result pages , there is no indication (as of this point in time) that Ipomoea abrupta exists to any degree at all in Hawaii.

Folks have tried to control its spread in Hawaii, a seemingly losing battle... this plant is taking over nature preserves, despite control efforts. Very difficult to control once it escapes into a wild tropical area. A similarly bad choice for Florida gardens. This could easily take over Florida's tropical nature preserves.
