Do you mean ipomoea, calystegia or convolvulus arvensis, or a combination of all three? (morning glory, false bindweed, field bindweed)(know your enemy))
We have all three but we -like- morning glories.
With mowing, weed whacking and weeding along with keeping a number of garden thugs where we neither weed, weed whack or mow, all three convolvulus types stay under relatively good control. ---YMMV, but we feel no need to use glyphosate as David suggested and morning glories on the rabbit fence around the vegetable garden impresses neighbours and garden tourists.
Inventiveness, diligent weeding and preventing the vines from scattering seed matters.
There is a reserve of dormant seed in the soil ...and arvensis seed can germinate after 28 years in the soil.
---That would be right after you've used a toxin, think your garden is free and clear, and believe you don't have to keep weeding.
I found an orange one at a friends place yesterday. The blossom is smaller but bright orange. I was tempted to look for seed but the leaves and vining habit warned me away. Isn't sweet potato in the same family? Steve
Convolvulaceae, the vines of the serpent. AKA ololiuqui, a hallucinogenic. Its reportedly the shaman's LSD used to consult with the Oracle or the devil depending on who you consult.
