lpomoea obscura | Chutti thiruthali

Ipomoea obscura (Chutti Thiruthali) is a dainty, fast-growing trailing vine that produces small, pretty pale-yellow or cream flowers with a deep centre. Both ornamental and useful, it’s valued in traditional herbal medicine and makes a charming, easy ground cover or climber. Sow the seeds in full sun in well-draining soil, provide light support if climbing, and water moderately; it grows readily in warm climates. Low-maintenance and cheerful, this little morning glory relative is a lovely addition to cottage gardens, fences and herbal patches.
