'''''Ipomoea purpurea''''', the '''Purple''', '''Tall''', or '''Common Morning Glory''', is a species in the genus ''[[Ipomoea]]'', native to [[Mexico]] and [[Central America]]. Like all morning glories the plant entwines itself around structures, growing to a height of 2-3 m tall. The leaves are heart-shaped and the stems are covered with brown hairs. The [[flower]]s are trumpet-shaped, predominantly blue to purple or white, 3-6 cm diameter. <ref>[http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/taxon.pl?20214 Germplasm Resources Information Network: ''Ipomoea purpurea'']</ref>
The plant is predisposed to moist and rich [[soil]], but can be found growing in a wide array of soil types.<ref name="Richard H. Uva 1997 Pp. 214-217">Richard H. Uva, Joseph C. Neal and Joseph M. Ditomaso, ''Weeds of The Northeast'', (Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press, 1997), Pp. 214-217</ref> It is [[naturalisation (biology)|naturalized]] 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 [[cultivar]]s. 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).

Ipomoea purpurea, Roth (Convolvulus majus, Hort. Convolvulus purpureus, Linn.). Tall Morning-glory. Fig. 1961. St. trailing or twining for 4-10 ft., branching from the base: peduncles slender, 1-5-fld., often longer than the petioles: corolla 1-2 in. long, light blue, purple, pink and diversely variegated. July-Sept. Trop. Amer. Escaped from gardens to waste places, Canada to Fla., west to Neb. and Texas, widely distributed in most tropical regions. B.M. 113, 1005, 1682. Gn.21,p. 295; 27, p. 473.—One of the most popular of garden annuals. Some of its varieties resemble the entire- leaved

Some of its varieties resemble the entire- leaved
forms of I. hederacea, but may be distinguished by their longer and more slender peduncles, umbellate pedicels, and oblong-acute sepals without the long tip usually found on I. hederacea. Seeds ripen freely on cult, varieties and may be gathered for future sowings. Among the host of garden forms are: alba, white; atro-caerulea, dark blue; atro- sanguinea, dark purple; azurea, sky-blue; carminata, light crimson ; dickensonii (Pharbitis hispida var. dickensonii), azure- blue;

huberi (I. huberi var. variegata, Hort.). Lvs. marked with silvery white, fls. variously colored and margined with white; kermesina (I. kermesina), scarlet; rosea., blush-rose; varia, a trade name for packages containing a mixture of many kinds; violacea-striata, violet-purple. There are several double forms of I. purpurea. var. flore-pleno, Fig. 1962, has very large lvs.: fls. appearing much later than single varieties, semi- or much-doubled, bluish white streaked with light blue or pink. Intro. 1892. Said to be very floriferous and a good pot-plant. G.F. 5:593 (adapted in Fig. 1962). A.G. 14:246. var. violacea fl.-pl., Hort., is entirely distinct from the preceding. Gt. 47, p. 133.
