Full Description

Cypress Vine (Ipomoea quamoclit) is a stunning, delicate-looking climbing vine known for its fine, feathery fern-like foliage and brilliant star-shaped flowers in shades of red, pink, or white. Despite its soft appearance, it is a vigorous and reliable grower that quickly covers trellises, fences, arches, and balconies.

The flowers open in the morning and attract pollinators such as hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies. Cypress Vine is a classic heirloom species related to morning glories, prized for its airy texture and long blooming season.

This vine adds vertical interest to gardens and is ideal for cottage gardens, pollinator gardens, containers with supports, and living screens.
