Ipomoea alba 'White'
- Product number: 528500
- Origin: Tropical America
- Latin: Ipomoea alba, also known as Ipomoea noctiflora
A unique Ipomoea! Introduced into horticulture in the late 18th century. As the other bindweeds roll up again (towards dusk), the large
(10-15cm diameter) flowers unfurl in a pristine silky white color! They only close again in the morning: a true night bloomer. A delightful fragrance accompanies them, and they certainly have it! The climbing plant can grow 2-4m long.
Annual climbers have the great advantage of long flowering and flexible use. The Ipomoea assortment is steadily expanding into a "something for everyone" range. Regarding the species name: I. purpurea is truly annual, I. tricolor has thicker leaves and can be overwintered as a container plant. They twine or creep in pots or gardens, also beautiful as a hanging plant!
