Good question. AFAIK all morning glories are perennial in warm
climates. Are the ones called "perennial" cold hardy or something?
My morning glories have been growing since January and show no sign of
stopping.I have heard they can become enormous here in the tropics.

For the most part you are right. However, most morning glories in warm climates
reseed, and are not perennial. The term perennial means that some part of the
plant remains alive during the cold season...even in the tropics. In this
instance, this plant does not reseed, it comes back from the roots.

Thanks! I have regular annual reseeding MG's growing right now. AFAICS
they wil grow and grow and grow. I wonder when they will die,we dont
have a cold season here.
We also have what appear to be wild perennial creeping MGs too.
