I used to live in Spain and they had some beautiful flowers, purple in

Does anyone know their name or if I can grow them in the UK South West.

Thanks Amanda

Was it a blue-purple perennial climber like morning glory? Then it's
Ipomoea learii, now called I. indica.
In the South West? snip
It's another thing we can put out in the summerin pots but must bring in for
the winter. Again, in Torquay, they (meaning Daivd Poole!) can grow it out
and leave it out but that's very close to the sea and in a walled garden.
