The official and long name for the Morning Glory Plant Family is Convolvulaceae – wow is that a mouth full!
Veggies:Â sweet potatoes
Blooms:Â morning glory, moonflowers and ornamental sweet potato vines
Similarities: Here are some features that some of the members of the morning glory family have: heart shaped leaves, trumpet shaped flowers, tuberous roots and vining plants. You can train these plants to grow up a trellis. Also, these plants are warm season so they like the heat of summer.
Differences: While the morning glory flower grows well from seeds, the other two flowers grow well from cuttings roots in water. While the blooms listed above grow best with a well balanced plant food, sweet potatoes will benefit with more phosphorus.
