  • Question

    My veg garden plants are covered by unknown plants, it's flower are purple and leaves are of heart shape, can anybody tell me what plant is that?

    Answer

    Dear brpatel54, your plant is a species of Ipomoea (morning-glory), a member of the Convolvulaceae. I cannot tell you for certain which species without close-up images, but it looks very similar to Ipomoea purpurea (common morning-glory). Best wishes.
