Ipomoea quamoclit

Naturalized
· also called cardinal vine, hummingbird vine, star glory
Twining annual vine with ferny foliage and small tubular red (occasionally pink or white) flowers that provide nectar primarily attractive to hummingbirds and butterflies; honeybees visit occasionally but it is not a significant honey plant. Blooms continuously from early summer through fall in suitable climates. Requires support for twining growth and readily self-seeds, becoming weedy in disturbed sites.
