Saltmarsh morning-glory showcases a deciduous vine habit, featuring large, trumpet-shaped flowers in a striking rose-lavender shade. Its blossoms, typical of many in its genus, offer a visual allure; however, it is distinguished by its unique, narrow leaves, which are shaped like a spear. These leaves are a key indicator for identification purposes. Its flowering season extends generously, brightening landscapes from mid-summer into fall. When planting, it prefers to ascend, so providing a structure for support, such as a fence or trellis, is advantageous. Optimal growth occurs in full sunlight and well-moistened, sandy environments.
