Plant Profile: Ipomoea purpurea

This plant is commonly found in both cultivated and abandoned fields, often marketed as I. nil. It has the ability to self-seed and may become invasive. Numerous enhanced cultivars exist, and to promote germination, seeds should be scarified and soaked in water for 12 to 24 hours. While it thrives in well-drained, sandy soils that are low in nutrients, it can adapt to a variety of soil types.
