this video is brought to you by Osmocote the planters plant foot hi I'm Ryan Lee from Indiana University and today I have a gardening tip about those weedy vines so I've got an example here of an ornamental Morning Glory you you know plant this on your trellises and it's really great until it gets out of control or until you want to replace it with something else and then it becomes a weed unfortunately most of the time when we see a weedy vine in our Gardens we tend to call it Morning Glory everything gets the same name and yet there are quite a few different we Divine's that we have to to deal with and so we're gonna identify those today by looking around the greenhouse this is tall Morning Glory it's an annual you see that again distinct heart shaped leaf it again has a has a flower that looks very similar to the the ornamental Morning Glory this may in fact be an escaped version of a ornamental Morning Glory the opposite might be true as well this may be the progenitor of our ornamental morning glories nevertheless this is called tall Morning Glory it's an annual it is in the morning glory family again related to the ornamental Morning Glory this is ivy leaf Morning Glory again it's an annual you can see the distinct Morning Glory like flowers the difference here is this ivy leaf it has very deep lobes so you can get hybrids between an ivy leaf Morning Glory and a tall Morning Glory and you will see variations of the depth of these lobes okay so while this one looks very similar to the morning glories that I just described this is a different plant altogether still in the morning glory family however the leaves are longer they're more Arrowhead shaped and they come to a very sharp point in the back this is called hedge bindweed hedge bindweed is a perennial and it can develop very strong very deep tap roots so getting rid of this out of your getting getting this out of your garden will require you to remove that very large tap root or kill it with a systemic herbicide like glyphosate okay so again another another weedy vine that looks very similar to the hedge bindweed and field bindweed is this but this again is not a not in the morning glory family in fact this is in the smartweed family this is called wild buckwheat the the the two characteristics that really distinguish this is one its flowers are completely different from a Morning Glory that it does not have that funnel form flower the flowers are much smaller oftentimes pink to white small balls of flower the other thing is a characteristic of the smartweed family and that is a small ring of tissue a membranous tissue that surrounds kind of claps around the stem right where the petal attaches that's called an o crea and it's it's a characteristic of the smartweed family and it's how you can distinguish this as being wild buckwheat while this weed looks very similar to the weeds in the morning glory family that we just looked at this one is in a completely different family this is called honey vine milkweed it's in the milkweed family the distinction is that the leaves come off or arranged oppositely so they're too ranked at every node there is two leaves coming off they have a heart shaped leaf again it looks very similar to a Morning Glory however it is a completely different species this is a perennial milkweed called honey vine milkweed it growing up this wall is what looks very similar to poison ivy poison ivy has three leaves this has five leaves this is called Virginia creeper so again a very woody very woody vine very sturdy a perennial you often see it growing up the sides of buildings like this or or trees but it's not poison ivy this is the one that I don't want to touch this looks very similar to a Virginia creeper however this one has three leaves this is poison ivy poison ivy is a perennial woody stem very Hardy very difficult to get rid of this has been a gardening tip about weed evine identification I'm Ryan Lee from Indiana University
