Purple Morning Glory (Ipomoea purpurea)

The Purple Morning Glory (also Tall Morning Glory or Common Morning Glory) is a species in the genus Ipomoea, native to Mexico and Central America. Like all morning glories the plant entwines itself around structures with its viny stems, growing to a height of 2-3 m tall. The leaves are heart-shaped and the stems are covered with brown hairs. The flowers are trumpet-shaped, predominantly blue to purple or white, 3-6 cm diameter.

The habitats of morning glories are landscapes, fences and crops. The plant is predisposed to moist and rich soil, but can be found growing in a wide array of soil types. It is naturalized throughout warm temperate and subtropical regions of the world. Although it is often considered a noxious weed, Ipomoea purpurea is also grown for its beautiful purple and white flowers and has many cultivars.
The triangular seeds have some history of use as a psychedelic; they, like Ipomoea tricolor contain LSA. Effects are reported to be almost identical to LSD.
