Ipomea hederifolia is an annual vine native to the southern states especially states along the Atlantic Coast down through Mexico and South America. While many Horticulture experts read books and do explore far away places. I grew up working in Fields full of plants in North Iredell working in the heat of Summer getting rid of weeds and other things. This plant was noticed by me many times coming up and growing, climbing on one of our trees and plants. Loved by Butterflies larger than its smaller sized Morning Gory Blooms and by Hummingbirds by me working in those fields. It can grow to perhaps 10 feet and bloom through the summer and be visited by many of our beneficial pollinators. We will offer these for sale ready to plant shortly. https://fsus.ncbg.unc.edu/main.php?pg=show-taxon-detail.php&taxonid=5008
