Entireleaf Morning Glory in Legume Vegetable Plantings
Return to weeds
Entireleaf morning glory (Ipomoea hederacea var. integriuscula) is one of several species of morning glory. It is a summer annual climbing vine with heart-shaped leaves. Bigroot morning glory (Ipomoea pandurata), a different species than entireleaf morning glory, is a perennial and managed differently.

Management:
- Morning glories are difficult to control with herbicides; apply herbicides when plants are small and susceptible.
- Cultivating young plants will only suppress growth unless plants are cut below the cotyledons.
