This is a stunning little Ipomoea, but due to its extreme weed potential, I will only sell this plant to people who live inland NSW, or overseas. Everywhere else is too risky. Only if you’re a plant connoisseur and know what you are doing should you grow this one. It will not survive drought or frosts.

Ipomoea quamoclit is an environmental weed in the Northern Territory, Western Australia and Queensland. It is also regarded as a “sleeper weed” or potential environmental weed in northern New South Wales. This garden escape is primarily a problem species in the northern parts of the country, where it invades bushland and competes with native vine species.
In northern Queensland, Ipomoea quamoclit is widely distributed in a number of habitats ranging from the fringes of mangroves, to rainforests and eucalypt forests. It is also thought to have the potential to invade the early successional stages of tropical monsoon vine thickets in this region. It is also listed as a medium priority pest species in the Mackay Whitsunday region and is mainly a weed of riparian areas in south-eastern Queensland.
In the Northern Territory, Ipomoea quamoclit smothers native trees and shrubs and is becoming increasingly problematic around Darwin, where it has also covered grass swards. It is also listed as a high priority weed species in the Aboriginal Lands of the Northern Land Council area and is a significant weed in the Pine Creek Bioregion in the northern parts of the Northern Territory.
In the Kimberley region of Western Australia, Ipomoea quamoclit is primarily a weed of the vegetation along creek lines.
In New South Wales it is currently found north from the Richmond River, including in the Tuckean Nature Reserve near Ballina. A very fast growing, herbaceous climber with feathery foliage and bright red, star-shaped flowers. Originally native from Mexico to northern South America but now widely cultivated as an ornamental in tropical and temperate climates worldwide, it has also escaped from cultivation and considered an invasive weed in some tropical countries.

Very pretty ferny leaf annual or perennial, herbaceous, twining vine growing 3–10 feet (0.91–3.05 m) tall.

The flowers are smallish to average size, trumpet-shaped with five points, and can be red, pink or white.

Seedlings must always be kept moist. They require full sun for good growth.

It doesn’t require any fertilizer and gives blooms without any care. It can be grown anywhere… In containers along with other plants, it can be grown in small containers, or in big containers it thrives well in small spaces and big spaces alike.
It flowers in summer and fall. They require full sun for good growth. In warmer climates, this plant can be extremely invasive.

For most seeds (unless otherwise stated): Sow Spring – Lightly cover and keep moist until germination – best to do in the hot before a rain event. (seeds need warmth germinate, if in doubt, wait till late Oct)

Seeds are usually collected from tree/plant shown in photo, this one was growing in my garden near Gin Gin, QLD. Happy to answer any questions you may have.

My business mission: is to provide backyard owners with seed of Australian Native plants, in particular ornamental species, with aesthetic attributes, to create good vibes and a sense of peace.

And my seller promise; if you purchase from me, I will send it to you.

I use recycled packaging. And I make a note of sending more seeds than stated in page listing. Plus, I’m a definite advocate for ‘organics’ as much as possible, there are no pesticides at my place!
