Ipomoea purpurea, or more commonly known as Morning Glory, is a vining variety native to Mexico and various regions of Central and South America. Annual morning glories are often mistaken for their perennial cousin Convolvulus arvensis, or Field Bindweed, which is an aggressive and invasive weed native to Europe. Although they look practically identical, the key to differentiating morning glory from field bindweed is whether or not the plant withstands frost; morning glory does not have the deep root systems like field bindweed to withstand any longterm chill.
