{"product_id":"ipomoea-pubescens","title":"Ipomoea pubescens","description":"\u003cp\u003eIpomoea pubescens is a caudiciform representative of the morning glory family, forming an underground tuber that bears seasonal vines with soft, velvety foliage. This species has an unusually large yet disjunct range, being known from Arizona and Texas to the bottom tip of South America. Curiously, it disappears in the wild throughout Central America, only reappearing in Colombia and growing through the Andes into the drier regions of northern Argentina. Despite its wide distribution in nature, the plant has mostly eluded cultivation apart from limited offerings from specialty nurseries. This is especially surprising given that it produces some of the finest flowers in the genus, with deep blue coloration on vines that are especially vigorous when given something to attach to. In nature, the caudex remains buried, and the vines are often stunted by harsh conditions, trailing across desert terrain or wrapping around neighboring cacti and shrubs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rare Plant Catalog","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52458573824280,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0912\/1175\/9896\/files\/ipomoeapubescens.png?v=1785377147","url":"https:\/\/rareplantcatalog.com\/products\/ipomoea-pubescens","provider":"Rare Plant Catalog","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
