Tievine, Tie Vine, Pink Morning Glory, Coastal Morning Glory, Purple Bindweed
Ipomoea cordatotriloba (Tievine) is a perennial vine with twining green or purplish stems covered with alternate, petiolate, cordate, or 3 to 5-lobed leaves. Blooming from summer to fall, funnel-shaped pink to purple flowers with darker throats are borne in axillary 1-5 flowered cymes. The blossoms open overnight and wither by mid-morning except on cloudy days. Attractive to butterflies, they give way to 2-6 seeded papery capsules. Native to the southeastern United States, Mexico, and South America, Tie Vine occurs on roadsides, along railroad tracks, in fields, in disturbed woodlands, and along streams. This attractive morning glory tends to be weedy, spreading by root sprouts and seeds. Very easily grown, it can grow up a fence, trellis, or other structure, over shrubs and even trees – or just hug the ground. Tievine is a source of food and cover for a variety of birds and small mammals.
