PlantFiles: Tall Morning Glory
Ipomoea purpurea 'Joyce Cobb'

I grew 4 'Joyce Cobbs' this year. Two looked like OhioBreezy's pictures (probably because I did get some of the seeds from her LOL). One was almost white with light purple markings. Another was a darker purple than the pictures by OhioBreezy. We ran heavy duty fishing line (next time we'll use something heavier) up to an old antenna bracket close to our roof (we live in a 2 story Cape Cod). The MGs scrambled right up to the roof. When we looked out one of the bedroom windows in the AM, we could see a wall of 'Joyce Cobb.' I'll definitely be growing these again. They do seed heavily...all the more to share with our neighbors who loved them, too!

I have grown this MG for 2 years now and it's one that turns heads every time.
The bloom is small 2 1/2 inches but the white in the center makes it jump out at you when you see it growing in the tree in my yard.
Its a keeper in my collection of purpurea that i grow since i came here.

This is real gem of a Morning Glory. It makes such a splash and just stops you in your tracks.

The heat here does almost melt the flowers by 11 AM. But, I feel that if it is grown in a colder climate, the blooms should last open longer.

This one in particular reseeded itself. I will definitely grow alot more of this one if I get seeds.

A very pretty bloomer, starts out darker purple in color with dots, as it "fades" it is more of a pretty pinkish color wth spots, lovely!!
