Ipomoea macrorhiza

Ipomoea macrorhiza

Moonflower, Big Root

Perennial vine from large tuber. This rare night-fowering morning glory from coastal southeastern US is presumed to have been introduced from Yucatan by aboriginal inhabitants in Pre-Columbian times and is sometimes found on Indian shell middens. Large tuberous root of this sweep potato relative was probably consumed. Has attractive crinkled foliage and large pale pink flowers which bloom at night like moonflower. Not known to have been available from nurseries prior to being offered by Woodlanders.
