Candy Stripe Purple should be an Ipomoea nil with a Blizzard pattern that produces tan colored seeds...the flower pattern is similar to the Purple Tie Dye but the much more common Tie Dye (which is frequently misrepresented as CSP) has dark brown to blackish colored seeds...

The sepals on CSP are clearly and definitively Ipomoea nil and are in no way,shape,manner or form indicative that it is any type of inter-specific hybrid at all e.g.,with I.purpurea...
additionally Ipomoea tricolor is not known to inter-specifically hybridize with any other species.

Species determination in Ipomoea is an objective Botanical Science governed by the exact structure of the sepals as a primary identification key.

Candy Stripe Purple which is offered with anything other than a binomial of Ipomoea nil and/or has seeds which are darker than a tan color should be regarded with serious circumspect.
