This fast-growing climber displays large, lobed foliage that forms a captivating screen. However, it is the abundance of tubular summer flowers that truly makes this plant a treasure. Starting as vibrant red buds, the blossoms mature into stunning shades of orange, yellow, and finally creamy white. These exquisite flowers grow in one-sided sprays, reaching up to 30cm in length. With varying colors of red, orange, and yellow blooms at the same time, they create a mesmerizing display that lasts for several months during summer.
While Ipomoea lobata is typically grown as an annual, it can also be kept in a pot and overwintered in areas where temperatures do not drop below 10C. This enables you to enjoy its beauty throughout the year.
The plant thrives in moderately fertile, well-drained soil and has an average growth rate. It flowers from June to September, providing a burst of color and charm to your outdoor space.
