I really like that morning glory, Chris, wow what a saturated red color! Do you have a leaf photo to share, and a side view of the flower to show the sepals (the green leafy pointy structures around the base of the red flower)?

I am uncertain how many folks in the US grow MGs in containers. I grow most of my MGs in containers, as does probably a large percentage of hobby growers in Japan.

I augment natural light by using one of those fluorescent tubes with the shield that you can buy at Home Depot or Lowes or your favorite independent hardware store. I set the timer to give 8 or 9 hours of light. Your plant might keep flowering indoors when you bring it inside. If not, you can always start another one from a seed and enjoy the winter with these flowers.
