Getting rid of it would involve a lot of chemicals and it would come back immediately because the seeds are in the irrigation water.. so I'm embracing it.

    I love morning glory I wish I had the pink as well only the white so far.

  2. Oenothera speciosa (evening primrose) not morning glory.

    Looks like field bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis) to me

    Super aggressive and invasive. Get started on trying to eradicate it now. May the odds be ever in your favor.

    I live in a rural-esque neighborhood where weeds are the standard yard fare. Rather than fighting it, I’m considering embracing the bindweed too. Idk. At least they don’t have burrs and stickers.

    That’s not morning glory, that’s bindweed. Super invasive and not native. Get rid of it.

    Now you just have a grass lawn but worse

    That’s bindweed, not morning glory

    I’m fighting this battle. It’s definitely a hard one but I’m making sure I don’t allow any of it to go to seed and pulling up roots as far as I can every time.

    Agree with bindweed. You will quickly come to hate the stuff

    Bindweed makes such lovely flowers, and it’s indeed related to morning glory. But as everyone else has said, it is a very noxious plant. It’ll pull down and choke out anything it can get its tendrils on. I just try to manage it by pulling/weed eating it before it sets seed, and after so many years, the population is starting to dwindle slightly. The kicker is their seeds can remain viable in the soil for decades.

    I’m sorry, that’s a really tough one. I can understand not being up for that fight. It is so pretty at least…

    Bindweed removal doesn’t have to be done chemically. Bindweed mites are pretty effective and can be available from state extension programs. I’ve also heard that planting pumpkins can help contain them. You don’t have to remove it but they can wrap around beneficial plants and choke them out.

    I think they’re beautiful. I can’t get flowers to live where I reside. I’d be happy for these.
