Ipomoea coccinea, also known as red morning glory, is a fast-growing flowering plant in the Convolvulaceae family. It was first described by Linnaeus in 1753 and is native to tropical America. The leaves are heart-shaped and the vines can grow up to 3 meters in length. The flowers are dull red with an orange throat and are borne in clusters. This plant is often confused with Ipomoea quamoclit, but can be distinguished by its leaves and flower color. It is commonly found in disturbed areas and is used as an ornamental plant. In some cultures, it is associated with "love at first sight" and has medicinal properties, with the roots being used to induce sneezing.

Germination/Propagation Top
Suggest a correction or add new data!| Sow seeds at 20°C, expecting germination within 3 months without further temperature treatment. |
| Requires Scarification: Scarification involves physically breaking, scratching, or softening the seed coat to allow water absorption and germination to occur. This can be done by nicking the seed coat with a knife or rubbing the seeds between sheets of sandpaper. |
| Requires Soaking: These seeds need to be soaked in warm water until they swell, which can take 24-48 hours. Seeds that float are usually not viable and should be discarded, along with the soaking water. |
