10 Seeds Ipomoea cairica Alba Five Fingered Morning Glory

Ipomoea cairica 'Alba', commonly known as Five Fingered Morning Glory, is a twining perennial vine prized for its delicate white funnel-shaped blooms and finely divided, finger-like foliage. This vigorous climber brings an airy, tropical texture to trellises, fences, and pergolas, with flowers that open in the morning and lend a soft, luminous quality to the garden.

An excellent choice for covering vertical spaces, this vine grows quickly through warm weather and produces a succession of white flowers over a long season. It suits ornamental borders, arches, and container culture where a support is provided, and its palmate leaves add fine texture even when blooms pause. Plant in a warm, sunny spot for best flowering.
