This unusual Morning glory, known commonly as Cardinal creeper or Hearts and honey vine, is a natural hybrid of Ipomoea coccinea and Ipomoea quamoclit. It is descended from a single plant and reproduces true from seed. This annual prefers moist, well-drained soil, but will tolerate dry soil if watered regularly. Unless the soil is very poor, it does not require fertilizer. It can be trained as a vine, used as ground cover, or grown in containers. It can be attractive to rabbits and deer.
