Thanks for a wonderful article. I love morning glories and have been collecting several different varieties over the years. I think many people are turned against them because some do tend to reseed, but as you pointed out, the annual morning glories are very easily removed even as large seedlings. It's the perennial members of the family (bindweed) that are the problem. In fact, one elderly woman I know is convinced that bindweed comes from annual morning glories. She warned me that planting morning glories would "lead to" bindweed...apparently there's a long-standing myth out there that they "evolve" into bindweed...which is patently untrue.
