Morning Glory (Ipomoea purpurea 'Feringa')

While *Ipomoea purpurea* is a common species, the cultivar ‘Feringa’ is a more specific question. Here’s a breakdown of the likely origins and geographical distribution:

* **Ipomoea purpurea (General Species):** Native to **Mexico and Central America**. It has naturalized and is considered an invasive species in many parts of the world, including North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania.

* **Ipomoea purpurea ‘Feringa’ (Cultivar):** This cultivar would have been developed in cultivation from specimens of *I. purpurea*. Without specific knowledge of the breeder or developer of ‘Feringa’, it is difficult to know precisely where it was developed. However, since the *I. purpurea* species is so widespread, it could have been bred anywhere.

In conclusion, while the species (*Ipomoea purpurea*) is native to Mexico and Central America, the cultivar ‘Feringa’ could have been developed in most places where *I. purpurea* is grown.
