Cypress vine can be
too prolific
Cypress vine (Ipomea quamoclit), a relative of the morning glory, also has a reputation for self-seeding so prolifically as to be a problem.
Its fine-textured, delicate foliage and scarlet flowers caught my attention immediately in a botanical garden in San Antonio, Texas, where the numerous, self-seeded vines covered 20 square feet of ground and fence.
On a trellis, it easily grows to 10 feet. Keep the morning glory and cypress vine away from your compost pile to avoid infesting it with seed.
Another member of the Ipomea genus grown in the home garden is quite spectacular. The moonflower (variously listed today as Ipomea aculeatum or Calonyction aculeatum; in 1881, listed as Ipomea Bona Nox) was once called the large-flowering evening glory.
This was a particularly appropriate name as the 5- to 6-inch, white flowers open from evening until the following day. Easy to grow, the vines can reach 20 feet in areas where the season is long enough.
Even an 8- to 10-foot vine elicits exclamations if planted around the patio or anywhere *
