Ipomoea quamoclit

Overview

Cypress vine (Ipomoea quamoclit) is a beautiful, fast-growin climber from the Convolvulaceae family with deeply-lobed, fern-like foliage and small, star-shaped flowers in a variety of colors such as pink, white, lavender, and red. Its blooming period is from early summer to late fall, and it needs full sun or part shade with a well-drained soil. Cypress vines are great for adding texture, color, and beauty to a garden, creating a stunning backdrop of bright, delicate flowers. It's also a great choice for growing in containers and hanging baskets where its starry blossoms can be enjoyed up close.
