Alamo Vine

Alamo Vine (Merremia dissecta) is an eye-catching perennial climber that belongs to the morning glory family. This twining vine features large, showy white flowers with dark burgundy centers, blooming prolifically from late spring to fall. The intricately divided dark green foliage adds a delicate texture to its appearance. While the Alamo Vine is prized for its ornamental beauty and ability to attract butterflies, it can be quite vigorous and may require management to prevent it from becoming overly aggressive in the garden.
