Can someone identify this flowering vine please?

Question

Hi. I planted this flowering vine along some lattice on our deck. I adore it! Not only does it give us added privacy for our deck area, the hummingbirds love it too. I forgot the name of it and I want to plant more in the spring. There are pods on it so I have the seeds to plant, but everyone wants to know what this beautiful vine is called.. any info will be helpful... even a link perhaps to a site where i might be able to find it. Thanks.

Thanks for the great answers.

Answer 1

what you have is Cardinal Climber vine, Ipomoea x multifida... now, there is another very much like it that you'll see, that has finer textured leaves, that one is known around here as Cypress Vine... same family... they're all in the Morning Glory family... there's also an orange-flowered one, but it's leaves are hearts , like the morning glory ones....also much loved by hummers and butterflies.... I plant mine near where my hummer feeder is, so they know there's food in 'that' place....

here's pics... and you'll see the fine-textured one there, too...

edit.... indeed the seeds do manage to get around... be very careful when taking down the old vine after it's brown and dead, cuz those seeds will spread themselves everywhere..( I spread out an old sheet to catch them and then give them to buddies) .. the good thing, tho, is that they are so recogniseable as seedlings that you can pull any that you don't want wherever.... they also transplant if you let them get several inches tall first.....

Answer 2

Vinca Minor, additionally established as Periwinkle. i do no longer think of this is somewhat as invasive in northern aspects, yet i will see the way it ought to be complicated to do away with! The vining advance will certainly root itself.
