Red morning glories are fast growing, twisting climbing flowering vines that attract butterflies.

Red morning glory flowers are borne in clusters of a half dozen.

The species name coccinea is Latin for "scarlet", and refers to the color of the flowers.

Ipomoea quamoclit has leaves that are more divided, resembling a pine bough, and look more like a cypress vine.

Ipomoea coccinea has a red-orange color while I. hederifolia has a darker red colour.

Red morning glory is an annual plant, so it can be grown as a climber over a fence to make a summertime screen and attract butterflies.
