Cypress Vine
Ipomoea quamoclit. Cypress Vine is a charming and delicate annual vine that belongs to the morning glory family. Cypress Vine is widely cultivated for its attractive, fern-like foliage and vibrant, star-shaped flowers. The flowers come in shades of red, pink, or white and are trumpet-shaped with five pointed lobes.
One of the distinctive features of the Cypress Vine is its ability to attract hummingbirds and butterflies with its nectar-rich flowers. The plant blooms profusely throughout the summer, creating a visually striking display as the blossoms twine and cascade over fences, trellises, or other support structures.
Cypress Vines are relatively easy to grow, preferring well-drained soil and a sunny location. They are often used to add vertical interest to gardens, as they can quickly climb and cover structures with their lush foliage and blossoms.
