Synonym: Convolvulus carneus (Jacq.) Spreng.

Habit: Shrub

Habitat: yards and gardens

Flowering & Fruiting: February-July

Key identification features: Bush Morning Glory is a shrub. Originally from tropical America, it is widely naturalized. The plants bloom in clusters of pink flowers all spring and summer long. As the name suggests, the blooms fade as the sun warms them, just like morning glories - but they are impressive while they last, blooming in large clusters at the ends of the tall branches. Attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds.
