Ipomoea cairica Morning Glory Vine, Railway Creeper The morning glory vine is a fast growing perennial with palmate leaves that produces large, showy lavender or white flowers in clusters. It is native to North Africa and Arabia but is now naturalized across the world and is highly invasive and able to strangle less vigorous plants. The seeds are borne in small pods and are hairy. In the Canary Islands the morning glory vine is grown as a pergola plant and creeper and grows wild alongside roads and paths. It is propagated by seed and self-seeds freely.
