Plant Notes:Alamo Vine is an introduced herbaceous perennial twining vine in the Morning-glory family (Convolvulaceae). It is native to tropical America. In Alabama it can be found in the southern half of the state. Alamo vine grows on roadsides, in fields, and in urban woodlots. It is a perennial with thickened rhizomatous roots. The stems are reddish in color, pubescent and up to 10 feet in length. They sometimes root when in contact with the soil. Leaves are alternate, petiolate, and deeply palmately 3-7 lobed. The margins of the leaf segments are toothed or dissected. The leaf blade is glabrous and the petiole is pubescent with long tan hairs. Flowers are solitary from the axils of the leaves. Each flower has 5 large, thick, greenish sepals and a funnelform corolla. There are 5 spirally twisted anthers with cream colored pollen. The corolla is white with a red throat. Flowers remain open throughout the day. The fruit is a large papery capsule containing 2-4 black seed. The dry fruit with the large sepals attached and folded backwards somewhat resembles a wooden flower and is sometimes call a “wood rose”. Alamo Vine is sometimes grown as an ornamental. It prefers a well-draining soil in full sun, and can be grown on a trellis or as a ground cover. It is drought and deer resistant. Plants are started from seed that need to be scarified before planting. Plant after all danger of frost has passed.—A. Diamond.
