*Ipomoea purpurea*, the *Purple*, *Tall*, or *Common Morning Glory*, is a species in the genus *Ipomoea <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipomoea>*, native to Mexico <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexico> and Central America<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_America>. Like all morning glories the plant entwines itself around structures with its viny stems, growing to a height of 2-3 m tall. The leaves are heart-shaped and the stems are covered with brown hairs. The flowers<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flower>are trumpet-shaped, predominantly blue to purple or white, 3-6 cm diameter. [1] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipomoea_purpurea#cite_note-0> The habitats of morning glories are landscapes, fences and crops. The plant is predisposed to moist and rich soil <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil>, but can be found growing in a wide array of soil types.[2]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipomoea_purpurea#cite_note-1>It is naturalized <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturalisation_(biology)>throughout warm temperate and subtropical regions of the world. Although it is often considered a noxious weed, *Ipomoea purpurea* is also grown for its beautiful purple and white flowers and has many cultivars<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultivar>. Common cultivars include *I. purpurea* 'Crimson Rambler' (red-violet blossoms with white throats); 'Grandpa Ott's,' 'Kniola's Black Knight,' and 'Star of Yelta' (blossoms in varying shades of deep purple with white or pale pink throats); and 'Milky Way' (white blossoms with mauve accents).
