Morning Glory (Hanging, Single) (Ipomoea purpurea)
Morning Glory (Hanging, Single) (Ipomoea purpurea)
Morning Glory (Ipomoea purpurea) in a hanging single form consists of a lone trailing vine descending freely from its point of origin. The stem elongates smoothly, producing alternately arranged heart-shaped leaves that create a rhythmic pattern along its length. This form does not rely on twining or surface attachment and instead occupies open vertical space through gravity-driven growth. Flowering may occur intermittently but is not essential to defining this expression.
Ipomoea purpurea commonly adopts this habit in natural settings where elevated germination sites allow stems to extend downward without obstruction. The species’ rapid growth rate and flexible tissues support this adaptation. The hanging single form highlights the plant’s core biological traits—vigorous stem elongation, efficient leaf arrangement, and adaptability to varied spatial conditions—while remaining structurally simple and singular in appearance.
Morning Glory (Hanging, Single) has a typical overall vine length/height between 6’-15’ (1.83-4.57 m) and spread of 1’-3’ (30-91 cm). The leaf width is between 2”-5” (5-12.7 cm).
