Yesterday I saw this plant at walmart. I initially thought it was an ivy plant, but it was marked as a morning glory. When I came home I started looking online for morning glory information & how to care for them, where to plant them... etc. Every photo I saw looked nothing like the plant I have. So, my question is, what type of vine did I buy? It has ivy looking leaves, but each leaf is fuzzy. It is also pretty flexible, the vines aren't very thick. There are no flowers on it right now. I live in the pacific northwest (Idaho) if that helps.

Hi! wpark2419, and welcome to AMHD :)

You may indeed have a variegated morning glory...

I'm having trouble nailing down the leaf structure, because there are so many different species.

Ok, thank you so much. Those pics to look very much like mine. I just didn't find any like that when I originally searched. Thanks though, now I know where to put it.
