|
I need help with the name of some plants in my yard. I live on the MS Gulf Coast. They are approx. 3 ft tall, purple/green leaves all the way up and purple flowers each morning. By the end of the day they fall off and the next day there are new blooms. I think maybe some type of morning glory but not quite the same.
Thanks!!

Hi Kathy,
I have a couple of suggestions about what your plant could be but without a picture it will be hard to know for sure.
From what you describe, it could be a Mexican Petunia. Mine do not have purple/green leaves but yours could be getting more sun which would make the leafs darker.
Any chance of a picture to make sure?

Hi Toni,

THANKS!!!
