I had to bring all my plants indoors. Windchill last night and tonight is in the upper 30s°F. Too cold except for the Ipomoea purpurea.




The perennials are still blooming, easing my sadness over the end of the outdoor growing season.

Hope you got them all in safe - and that there is still room for you inside...

Great looking perennial on your picture - very attractive "3D" structure on the petals - can you help with a name? Is it a "cream colored" I. Alba? Or I. albivenia?

We didn't get quite that low here Joseph, thankfully since I'm never ready to bring them in. Hopefully by the weekend.
I hate to see it end

Thank you, Carsten. The flowers are from a couple Ipomoea albivenia plants.

Ronnie, it got to 39°F actual temperature this morning. Too cold, but the purpurea seem unfazed.

Strange Joseph since you are further South than I am. We got down to about 44

The Ipomoea albivenia Nelspruit/ Mpumulanga plant #2 (crinkly flower) had a couple seed pods ripen.



















Here is the caudex.



Here is what the flower looked like.
