Editor's Note

Some resources list Ipomoea seeds as poisonous if large quantities are ingested.

The toxic principals include indole alkaloids and others.

Symptoms include hallucinations, dilated pupils, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, drowsiness, numbness of extremities, and muscle tightness.

We tend to err on the side of caution in PlantFiles, and the danger notation in the details above is to warn gardeners, parents and pet owners to look further for more information.

Looks similar to 'Cameo Elegance.' Don't know if they're the same.

This is a very nice plant to use in hanging baskets. It is full of blooms from spring till summer. This one was done blooming by June or first of July. I like plants that grow longer and there are far too many other reds to choose from to limit myself to one that limits itself to growth. So if I want a red in the future I will choose Chimson rambler, Rose Red or another. But this is a good one if you have limited space and need a more compact vine.

Regional...

Elk Grove, California
