brazilian morning glory: meaning, definition, pronunciation and examples

No. It is exclusively the common name for a specific species of flowering vine (Ipomoea setosa). It is a botanical term, not a descriptive phrase.

No. 'Morning glory' is a large genus. 'Brazilian morning glory' typically refers to the specific species Ipomoea setosa, noted for its bristly stems. Using it for other types is botanically inaccurate.

This is inherited from the general common name for Ipomoea species. Their large, trumpet-shaped flowers often open in the early morning and may fade by the afternoon, hence 'glory' in the morning.

With caution. It is a vigorous, fast-growing climber that provides excellent coverage and colour. However, in climates similar to its native habitat, it can become invasive, spreading aggressively and outcompeting other plants. Check local invasive species lists first.

A specific fast-growing, twining vine with showy purple or blue flowers, native to tropical regions of the Americas.
