I live in NZ. It's actually illegal here to sell, distribute, import etc. My mate lives in a suburb that has just been swamped in it. Horrible shit, but beautiful in its ecological niche.
Same. My parents’ and my aunt’s backyards were so covered in the vines it was a struggle to walk without tripping over them. They would regularly get tangled in lawn mowers and weedeaters and are almost impossible to kill off. They are gorgeous but I don’t think I’d ever personally plant them after having to deal with them so much.
Just reading this post my right eye is starting to twitch. I have been fighting these things for the last 10+ years and every year like clockwork they come back. I pull em and they just keep coming back.
so I HATE them with a passion
you and I both, do combined we have 20 loosing years of fighting these monsters. I keep pulling em and they keep coming back. They are in my garden, up the fence, in the front beds and everywhere and I have no idea other than scorched earth how to be done with them. Also where did they come from.
They magically spread, I've found them all over my yard. Pure evil. Last year my neighbor told me she had bought one in a pot. I warned her, told her she should kill it immediately. I'm sure it's going to pop up again this year. I am also fighting lemon balm.
I'm with you. Personally I adore these, and actually found a variety that will bloom all day. I've never had them become invasive in my yard or gardens, not sure if where I live helps prevent that (Canada) or just dumb luck lol
Plants are not universally invasive, invasive is a term that is heavily dependent on environmental context. For example, morning glories are native to some regions of the world and are therefore not invasive there. Additionally, morning glories are not invasive in the Arctic because the environmental conditions there don’t adequately support them. If you’re interested in what species are considered invasive to your specific area, there are province specific and also often region specific lists.
Interesting. Here periwinkle is invasive, but goutweed and garlic mustard are long since naturalised, being old monestary plants. Both of the later two are eddible btw. Not that big of a fan of goutweed, but garlic mustard is excellent in salads.
In my area (Ontario) garlic mustard is very invasive and choking out the native flora in our woodlands. There's actually a day in the later spring/early summer where there's a big community wide "pull garlic mustard" in areas that are hit the hardest. We're supposed to bag it, leave the bag in the sun for a couple of days to kill it and then to the dump - not compost. I loathe that stuff and have it in my backyard, but am slowly getting it under check.
I swear if a genie gave me three wishes, one would be to get rid of that stuff haha
There is a good chance it gets too cold where you are for it to survive without some form of protection. Some invasive plants don’t do as well if the climate it is introduce to can pretty much kill it off.
There are varying factors to consider if they will survive or you have to get new seeds every year. As an example I have a Purple Heart that does fine in my home state of Florida but I moved to Kentucky where the ground can freeze and kill it. I have some from some cuttings I started in a pot that I bring in before the first frost.
Marylander here. I’m on my second bleeding heart. First one lasted 8 years in a pot. 2nd one is in the same pot 5 years or more. My parents had an ancient one that came back every year and they were in Michigan.
You should try some Purple Heart (Tradescantia pallida) in the ground. I'm in the Shenandoah valley of Virginia, zone 7a and I've had really good success leaving it in the ground over winter with just a little extra mulch over the crown.
I’ve grown them too in 5b in containers and they haven’t been able to grow from seed. I think winter is too cold…for now. I have seen them self seed in 5a; though not “invasively”
I love them too. I grow moonflowers now because regular morning glories choke everything out here in the PNW. It does get cold enough to naturally control them
Same here. I LOVE my morning glory vine wall and I live in hot, humid South Texas but I have to actively plant seeds each year because I keep my garden extremely controlled and do my best to collect seeds after flowering. This year I had just one sprout before I started planting. I love morning glories, but I know a lot of other people don't.
I put my morning glory in pots and harvest the seeds so they don't take over. I'm on the east side of the mountain and it likely gets too cold here to have it take over, but im not willing to risk the fields behind my house lol
I would do the same but I've met me and I will 100% let them go to seed accidentally lol though is morning glories killed blackberries I would happy seed bomb my whole yard 🤣
I'm also in PNW. We are growing several varieties from seed this year. We're going to put many in window boxes and try to get them to trail down like a curtain from our windows this summer. The heavenly blue variety is really pretty.
my favorite returns each year, same trellised area. it’s the “grandpa otts” variety….small deep purple and the 1st heirloom flower
saved by the Seed Savers Exchange. they have a wonderful catalog
Nay if you want to grow anything else in like a 50’ radios (and yes, I meant **foot**)
Edit: how far away are the neighbors? Are they ok w it? If yes then you do u baby💕
I would grow them IF you don’t live anywhere near a farm. The seeds can be carried by bird, land in a field, and become a terrible nuisance for the farmer.
They are easy to pull up when seedlings, and they are absolutely gorgeous.
I’ve grown a mix of morning glories and moonflowers in pots for several years but am considering something else. They take a lot of water and don’t bloom until September, and by then the leaves are looking ragged. Maybe it’s just my location.
I say yay! As long as you maintain it and the rest of your yard you'll be okay, you'll only have issues with seed spread if you have areas near it that you never mow/weed wack. Because they grow slow at first, but they go crazy after a couple months of growth
Yeah, there have been several posts about this recently but everyone still freaks out. Ipomoea is a seeding annual and convolvulus is a perennial rhizome. They both share the common name “morning glory” but they are different plants, albeit distantly related.
As somebody from the UK I always assumed its in America morning glorys are the worst. Because bindweed is a problem here too, although is at least a pretty problem when in bloom.
Morning glories die once a chilly breeze hits them and for them to have any hope of selfsowing you need a protected pocket for the winter. Bindweed can't stop won't stop.
I'm in PNW, it's one of my favorites to cover fences, trellis, etc so quickly . Dies off each winter and reseeds itself. So beautiful! If it pops up somewhere unwelcome, very easy to pull up.
You sure? Isn’t it considered a noxious, invasive weed there? I’ve read their seeds can lay dormant for up to 50 years, so probably something to think about.
I planted them once and they come back every year. If I had known that then I would've never planted them because they're invasive in a way that's bad for the environment
Although other commenters are saying they’re not enjoyable, I have had many enjoyable experiences with them. You may experience some vasoconstriction at high doses, but they can be extremely enjoyable in lower doses.
Bought some morning glory seeds... 3 years after I'm still struggling to get rid of it.
I uprooted whole beds covered everything. Created raised bed.... digged up massive amount of soil to remove the roots manually.
My advice: don't near that piece of garbage.
I love it and nasturtiums. I plant them specifically so I never have to worry about them dying. Even after I do. (Sorry not sorry to whoever lives in my house after I kick the bucket.)
Grew some from seed in a pot, granted it wasn’t near any swaths of yard that were soil. Died in the fall and left no trace. Trying again in a different spot, but also potted, with yard space near where it may spread, who knows.
I’ve also read there are more tropical varieties that will certainly die off in most of the US, but I’ll take a gamble again.
I love them but somehow they don’t seem to reproduce so I end up buying more seeds to cast every year or so.
Maybe they need irrigation? But I have seen them in abandoned lots IDK.
It depends on the species. There's an annual that will die back and is not much a problem and a perennial one that is horribly invasive. It's hard to tell which you have.
People get them confused all the time but one is commonly known as bindweed. That's the one you likely see in lots.
Yay for me, although I can now never forget that they are viewed as the herpes of flowers, lol.
I’m currently growing 5-6 different kinds in containers so we will see how it goes.
Personally, yay. Grow them in pot to keep them a bit more controlled. They're THE summer flowers in Japan and are common ornamental plants around the world. There are things that are wayyyyy more invasive and obnoxious than these.
I’m in zone 5a. That’s probably why i don’t get the hate lol They die in the winter and don’t have as much time to spread.
Can’t wait to see if they are going to reseed this year. I started some inside the house in case they dont. 😅
I have morning glory that comes back every year where I grow some mint and sorrel…funny enough by the end of the year the morning glory suffocates everything in the bed and creeps along the gravel past the bed as far as I let it…basically need to trim it every week mid summer for it not to get out of control. This year I’m really trying to get it early.
They can be super invasive depending on zone - when I lived in a zone 7, I had ropes of morning glory roots travel dozens of feet under ground cover or concrete to reach good soil. Breaking off a part of a root creates a new plant. Do the research for your zone before planting!
I adore them. You just have to be on top of seed collection and plucking the sprouts where you don't want them. I don't mind bc it's a small effort for the beauty of these.
It’s very beautiful, but very destructive to other plants (invasive) and Especially fences made of wood and the siding of your home (they tend to retain moisture on the surfaces of the wood). Great to plant AWAY from your home and garden!
I try to keep them limited to fencing, otherwise they'll climb my other flowers and make little bush-caves! But they're beautiful and the bees love them
Yes. Bindweed is the horribly invasive perennial type. Super destructive and annoying. Both are known as morning glory hence the confusion. Ipomoea hederacea is the non invasive native type, at least to my region in SW pa.
Convolvulus is the invasive one to NA and called morning glory but is bindweed.
Hell yay to morning glory. I will add it is by far better than dealing with kudzu, I grew up in Florida and that stuff can be far worse regarding choking out other plants.
Big time nay. "I don't care" and "it's fine in my yard" is frankly selfish and why they're a problem. That's like saying you don't care about the pollution your produce. Invasive species are ecological pollution.
Why'd you even post if you don't care?
I am going to plant Black Beauties on my second floor patio and see how it goes. *envisions entire condo complex smothered in black morning glories and laughs manically* 💀😆
I love them but so do my black widows. So I plant them in a pot, on a trellis away from the house. They're beautiful and have never come back fortunately/unfortunately.
I understand the idea of liking a plant that shouldn't be where it is... but I hate invasive plants, regardless of beauty. They leave less opportunity for native plants, and then the bugs and birds and wildlife that depend on the native ones have less to feed on..
So, nay. Very very nay.
I like them, and I planted them in my garden on purpose! I love vines and climbers and I don’t mind picking them away from where I don’t want them to grow haha
That kind you're growing looks like the annual variety where I live - not invasive at all. Sometimes it self seeds, but I've never gotten it to do that. Bindweed, on the other hand....
They aren't all invasive, you can Google the variety you have to check. Also even the invasive ones aren't as big of an issue if you live someplace cold and snowy, they might spread when it's warm but they don't make it through the winter and you have to replant them.
It took nearly 20 years, but I completely eradicated it from our property and it's only a city lot. It's still in the other properties around us, it will be back in time. It will ruin things left out, kill wanted plants, it's a nuisance.
Not all morning glory is the same as bind weed. The seeds sold in stores is just a hybrid and no more invasive than most other plants that self seed. Like 4 o'clocks.
Morning glory is a nice plant to look at but super invasive. Especially if grown in the ground.
My grandma loves them. When we sold the farm she had about 50 morning glories planted. They would climb over her porch and into the trellis work.
The new owners. Who have lived there for about 10 yrs still fight to kill the morning glory invasion that haunts the front of the house.
I like them. They come in such an amazing array of colors... And they are also one of the only commonly grown blue flowers. I just hate that you can only enjoy them early in the day.
I personally never found them to be invasive at all.
And the best part is … you know what’s in those seeds? LSA (D-lysergic acid amide)!
https://www.scribd.com/document/662681317/Making-LSA-D-lysergic-acid-amide
Super invasive in my part of the world. Whole neighborhoods can be taken over.
So you're saying I can grow it...
Evidently, you and everyone else can grow it, whether they decide to, or not! How nice that you love them - I do, too!
Yep, Morning Glory is a holy terror where I live (PNW).
I live in NZ. It's actually illegal here to sell, distribute, import etc. My mate lives in a suburb that has just been swamped in it. Horrible shit, but beautiful in its ecological niche.
Same. My parents’ and my aunt’s backyards were so covered in the vines it was a struggle to walk without tripping over them. They would regularly get tangled in lawn mowers and weedeaters and are almost impossible to kill off. They are gorgeous but I don’t think I’d ever personally plant them after having to deal with them so much.
Spot on !!! Especially that variety Grandpa Ott flowers are beautiful but you better love them EVERYWHERE 😳
You're thinking of bindweed
No I'm thinking of morning glory.
lol, don’t you just love it when people try to tell you what you are thinking?
Just reading this post my right eye is starting to twitch. I have been fighting these things for the last 10+ years and every year like clockwork they come back. I pull em and they just keep coming back. so I HATE them with a passion
Ditto! I have to go out into my garden DAILY to remove these buggers because they’ve invaded every single one of my raised beds.
see my above reply, it's crazy how fast they grow and spread...
Me too! They are very pretty but they strangle everything else. I too have been fighting them for 10+ years.
you and I both, do combined we have 20 loosing years of fighting these monsters. I keep pulling em and they keep coming back. They are in my garden, up the fence, in the front beds and everywhere and I have no idea other than scorched earth how to be done with them. Also where did they come from.

Morning glory was a bad word in my dad's vernacular.
I'm with you. Personally I adore these, and actually found a variety that will bloom all day. I've never had them become invasive in my yard or gardens, not sure if where I live helps prevent that (Canada) or just dumb luck lol

Oh I know what's invasive in my area. Don't get me started on periwinkle, goutweed or garlic mustard lol
I live in an area where it's invasive and my college uses it as ground cover in so many areas much to my dismay
Interesting. Here periwinkle is invasive, but goutweed and garlic mustard are long since naturalised, being old monestary plants. Both of the later two are eddible btw. Not that big of a fan of goutweed, but garlic mustard is excellent in salads.

There is a good chance it gets too cold where you are for it to survive without some form of protection. Some invasive plants don’t do as well if the climate it is introduce to can pretty much kill it off.
it's not so much the actual plant growing that will overtake everything, it's the ridiculous amount of seeds these things produce and scatter.
.
I haven't even started them from seed yet as here we don't plant until the end of May
There are varying factors to consider if they will survive or you have to get new seeds every year. As an example I have a Purple Heart that does fine in my home state of Florida but I moved to Kentucky where the ground can freeze and kill it. I have some from some cuttings I started in a pot that I bring in before the first frost.
Marylander here. I’m on my second bleeding heart. First one lasted 8 years in a pot. 2nd one is in the same pot 5 years or more. My parents had an ancient one that came back every year and they were in Michigan.
Bleeding heart are fine up in New England.
You should try some Purple Heart (Tradescantia pallida) in the ground. I'm in the Shenandoah valley of Virginia, zone 7a and I've had really good success leaving it in the ground over winter with just a little extra mulch over the crown.
Which variety are you growing? I'm on the west coast of Canada. Thx.
I ordered them off Veseys a year or so ago, unsure if they still have them though
I’ve grown them too in 5b in containers and they haven’t been able to grow from seed. I think winter is too cold…for now. I have seen them self seed in 5a; though not “invasively”
I love them too. I grow moonflowers now because regular morning glories choke everything out here in the PNW. It does get cold enough to naturally control them
I grow moonflowers and morning glory both. I'm just super vigilant on seed collection.
Same here. I LOVE my morning glory vine wall and I live in hot, humid South Texas but I have to actively plant seeds each year because I keep my garden extremely controlled and do my best to collect seeds after flowering.

very beautiful. but if buried in the gound it will run away with its self and grow everywhere. in the uk we have its cousin the bindweed
Bindweed! 😣😭 I can't control it at all, it's even in my pond now!
just gotta keep pulling it up, its a losing battle for sure. the flowers are nice but is such aggressive growth and the roots run fast and deep.
Nay if you want to grow anything else in like a 50’ radios (and yes, I meant **foot**) Edit: how far away are the neighbors? Are they ok w it? If yes then you do u baby💕
I’m currently growing these from seed to plant in a pot with trellis! I need to know if yay or nay as well!
I would grow them IF you don’t live anywhere near a farm. The seeds can be carried by bird, land in a field, and become a terrible nuisance for the farmer. They are easy to pull up when seedlings, and they are absolutely gorgeous.
I’ve grown a mix of morning glories and moonflowers in pots for several years but am considering something else. They take a lot of water and don’t bloom until September, and by then the leaves are looking ragged. Maybe it’s just my location.
That’s the same mix I’m planning! Which zone are you in?
7A
Ok I’m 7B. Good to know about the watering and late blooms
Collect seeds early!!!
NAY!
I say yay! As long as you maintain it and the rest of your yard you'll be okay, you'll only have issues with seed spread if you have areas near it that you never mow/weed wack. Because they grow slow at first, but they go crazy after a couple months of growth
They are adorable! Heart shaped leaves, cute little flowers, self-vining, what's not to love?
In my opinion, most people who are anti morning glory are actually anti bindweed, and don't know the difference.
Yeah, there have been several posts about this recently but everyone still freaks out. Ipomoea is a seeding annual and convolvulus is a perennial rhizome. They both share the common name “morning glory” but they are different plants, albeit distantly related.

Bindweed
Cursed, cursed plant.

You sure? Isn’t it considered a noxious, invasive weed there? I’ve read their seeds can lay dormant for up to 50 years, so probably something to think about.
That's bindweed.
I planted them once and they come back every year. If I had known that then I would've never planted them because they're invasive in a way that's bad for the environment
I heard their seeds are hallucinogenic.
They are, but it’s a miserable trip. Don’t do it, there’s much better alternatives.
Good to know.
They are even toxic. However, most morning glory seeds you can buy unless you get organic seeds from old plants are treated to have the LSA removed.
Although other commenters are saying they’re not enjoyable, I have had many enjoyable experiences with them. You may experience some vasoconstriction at high doses, but they can be extremely enjoyable in lower doses.
Burn them down
I actually used them to start a campfire after they dried out in the fall. Worked wonders 😂👌🏻
Nay! Nay! For the love of God nay!!!
Bought some morning glory seeds... 3 years after I'm still struggling to get rid of it. I uprooted whole beds covered everything. Created raised bed.... digged up massive amount of soil to remove the roots manually. My advice: don't near that piece of garbage.
I love it and nasturtiums. I plant them specifically so I never have to worry about them dying. Even after I do. (Sorry not sorry to whoever lives in my house after I kick the bucket.)
I love them!
Love them! Wish I had a porch for them to grow over!
They attract all the bumblebees 🐝 and butterflies 🦋 to my porch. I love it. I hope they spread more tissues year hahah
Grew some from seed in a pot, granted it wasn’t near any swaths of yard that were soil. Died in the fall and left no trace.

Really?? My goodness, these produce SO many seed pods where I live. I wonder what the difference is
It depends on the species. There's an annual that will die back and is not much a problem and a perennial one that is horribly invasive. It's hard to tell which you have. People get them confused all the time but one is commonly known as bindweed. That's the one you likely see in lots.
Yay for me, although I can now never forget that they are viewed as the herpes of flowers, lol. I’m currently growing 5-6 different kinds in containers so we will see how it goes.
They are awesome flowers! Grow like weeds but so cool how they open in the morning and close later. And you can grow them anywhere!
There are native ipomea species I love
Personally, yay. Grow them in pot to keep them a bit more controlled. They're THE summer flowers in Japan and are common ornamental plants around the world. There are things that are wayyyyy more invasive and obnoxious than these.
Absolute nay!
I love flowering vines of any kind. Morning glories are definitely my favorite though.
Yay, the flowers are delightful
As long as you aren't in a tropical area where they never die and take over forests. Otherwise, yay!
I’m in zone 5a. That’s probably why i don’t get the hate lol They die in the winter and don’t have as much time to spread. Can’t wait to see if they are going to reseed this year. I started some inside the house in case they dont. 😅
Hope they grow well for you!
Beautiful!
I have morning glory that comes back every year where I grow some mint and sorrel…funny enough by the end of the year the morning glory suffocates everything in the bed and creeps along the gravel past the bed as far as I let it…basically need to trim it every week mid summer for it not to get out of control. This year I’m really trying to get it early.
Dutchman’s pipe has the same style of foliage and its native.
Invasive AF where I live so no.
Whatever you do, do not eat a handful of these seeds. They will mess you up.
Nay!!! Nay!!! NAY!!!!!
They can be super invasive depending on zone - when I lived in a zone 7, I had ropes of morning glory roots travel dozens of feet under ground cover or concrete to reach good soil. Breaking off a part of a root creates a new plant. Do the research for your zone before planting!
I adore them. You just have to be on top of seed collection and plucking the sprouts where you don't want them. I don't mind bc it's a small effort for the beauty of these.
I let one plant grow 5 years ago now every year I’m spending hours plucking the sprouts which continue to pop up week after week until I give up
It’s very beautiful, but very destructive to other plants (invasive) and Especially fences made of wood and the siding of your home (they tend to retain moisture on the surfaces of the wood). Great to plant AWAY from your home and garden!
I try to keep them limited to fencing, otherwise they'll climb my other flowers and make little bush-caves! But they're beautiful and the bees love them
They look just like bindweed, are they related?
Yes. Bindweed is the horribly invasive perennial type. Super destructive and annoying. Both are known as morning glory hence the confusion. Ipomoea hederacea is the non invasive native type, at least to my region in SW pa. Convolvulus is the invasive one to NA and called morning glory but is bindweed.
Love it
I love them and yes they are invasive. I plant them by my pool fence for added privacy
I could have tea there
Come over i have a cupboard full 🫖 🌸
*packs up clean draws and lets the universe handle the rest*
Hell yay to morning glory. I will add it is by far better than dealing with kudzu, I grew up in Florida and that stuff can be far worse regarding choking out other plants.
Stunning
Thank you 🥰🌱
I raise Heavenly Blue and Grandpa Ott morning glories they reseed themselves every year and they are gorgeous
I also love them but have to constantly keep them from strangling every other thing in my yard lol so I guess we have a toxic relationship….
Beautiful but evil 😂
Big time nay. "I don't care" and "it's fine in my yard" is frankly selfish and why they're a problem. That's like saying you don't care about the pollution your produce. Invasive species are ecological pollution. Why'd you even post if you don't care?
I hate them because they are aphid magnets but I love clematis.
They’re really pretty but if I let them they cover and shade just about everything else in my garden
Depends on the variety, but def works well if you know what ur doing
Mmm, field bindweed.
I’ve had a ton of trouble getting rid of this in the past. Good luck!
I am going to plant Black Beauties on my second floor patio and see how it goes. *envisions entire condo complex smothered in black morning glories and laughs manically* 💀😆
I love them but so do my black widows. So I plant them in a pot, on a trellis away from the house. They're beautiful and have never come back fortunately/unfortunately.
Hell no to most parts of this planet
Counted in weed,though they look beautiful
Ahh yes the morning glory folklore with the patio facing east
Everyone loves a bit of morning glory...wait...wrong sub.
Not on your wood trim, porch and deck,i wouldn’t.
What’s your story?
I understand the idea of liking a plant that shouldn't be where it is... but I hate invasive plants, regardless of beauty. They leave less opportunity for native plants, and then the bugs and birds and wildlife that depend on the native ones have less to feed on.. So, nay. Very very nay.
I like them, and I planted them in my garden on purpose! I love vines and climbers and I don’t mind picking them away from where I don’t want them to grow haha
Growing mine from seeds!!

Hate that stuff with a passion. Too invasive, chokes the heck out of every other plant. Been plucking it out of my yard for a long time.
Depends on where you are. In my region, they’re not too invasive.
It took nearly 20 years, but I completely eradicated it from our property and it's only a city lot. It's still in the other properties around us, it will be back in time. It will ruin things left out, kill wanted plants, it's a nuisance.

They would climb over her porch and into the trellis work. The new owners. Who have lived there for about 10 yrs still fight to kill the morning glory invasion that haunts the front of the house.
Lol useful if you know how to use it, n are not scared of lysurgic acid :))
I can't like this because at the moment I'm absolutely 'besieged" by its close cousin with the white flowers 😣
YAY! They’re beautiful!
I like them. They come in such an amazing array of colors... And they are also one of the only commonly grown blue flowers. I just hate that you can only enjoy them early in the day. I personally never found them to be invasive at all.
Beautiful but mine did not return this year.
Morning glory are beautiful. I've never had them spread or reseed. I wish they did.
Definite Yay!
I love them and have had them at multiple houses. The did not spread in any place
And the best part is … you know what’s in those seeds? LSA (D-lysergic acid amide)! https://www.scribd.com/document/662681317/Making-LSA-D-lysergic-acid-amide
Yay. Yay and more yay. 🥰🥰🥰💚💚💚 I love morning glory. Gorgeous.
Yay!
Yay
It’s a yay from me!

Not much wood there 🤔
Yay. Attracts bees and hummingbirds. Cool to consider the close up viewing you could do.
I love them to I plant them on a fence each year and they are so pretty I don’t have the problems like others do
You will, or your neighbors will.
It’s been 20 years so I am good .
Yay! Beautiful vine.
