Ipomoea tiliacea, commonly known as Darkeye Morningglory, White Morning-glory, Wild Potato Vine, or Heartleaf Morning-glory, is a perennial vine that thrives in a variety of habitats including tropical forests, woodlands, and disturbed areas across Mexico, Central America, and South America. It typically climbs to heights of 3-10 feet (0.9-3 meters), displaying heart-shaped leaves and twining stems that enable it to ascend structures and vegetation. The vine produces white, trumpet-shaped flowers that bloom prolifically in the summer and fall, attracting pollinators with their subtle beauty.

Darkeye Morningglory is valued for its rapid growth and adaptability, making it suitable for covering trellises, arbors, and fences. It can also be used as a ground cover to stabilize soil in garden settings. While it requires medium amounts of water, it is relatively low-maintenance once established. This vine prefers full sun to part shade and can adapt to a range of soil types, including clay, loam, and sandy soils with medium drainage. However, gardeners should be cautious as Ipomoea tiliacea can become invasive outside its native range, potentially outcompeting local flora.CC BY-SA 4.0
