I love Seaside Morning Glory for many reasons. Aside from the fact that it grows (thrives) on little to no soil (rock is just fine), and it does shrink back and die off during the dry season, but the minute rain comes along, oh my, the ground is transformed with a magnificent green carpet (it grows really quickly) interspersed with these lovely purple flowers. What can be better than that?!
Seaside Morning Glory grows on the beach as well as along cliff edges on the coastline, so salt and wind are no problem for this hardy plant. Anywhere from the south-east coast of Barbados, along the east coast and right up to the north of the island, you will see this growing. It is even used on beaches that have suffered erosion to help “hold” the sand.
To top it off, butterflies of all sizes and colours love Seaside Morning Glory. What’s not to like!
