Description: I’M NOT ALONE in my love of this one. Hummingbirds, butterflies, and even the Royal Horticultural Society agree: The annual vine called Ipomoea lobata, formerly Mina lobata, and a.k.a. Spanish flag or exotic love vine, is the bee’s knees (and those pollinators agree, come to think of it). I have a new name to suggest that blends flags with the exotic erotic, though: What about calling this July-through-frost morning glory relative the fan-dance vine instead?That’s what the flowers, which are technically borne in clusters called racemes, look like to me: a string of little fans, or pennants, dancing in the breeze. The tubular blooms start out red, but fade gradually so that each raceme includes some red, yellow and white individuals.A few seedlings of Ipomoea lobata, spaced a foot or 18 inches apart, will lustily cover a garden arch with mostly three-lobed leaves, growing to 10 or even 15 feet in a season. They’ll manage well in full sun to part shade (but will definitely have the most visitors in the former setting). I don’t fertilize energetic annual vines like this, because I want flowers, not just foliage.12 seedsThis is a annual vine, but may re-seed if you allow the seeds to fall to the ground.
