I received a question from a visitor asking if a perennial variety of purple morning glory exists.

Convolvulus mauritanichus or Ground Morning Glory is a perennial. It’s leaves are gray-green and it has lavender blue flowers. This species of perennial morning glory blooms from June through to November.
Ipomoea acuminata, Blue Dawn, is another form of perennial morning glory. It’s a vigorous grower that would be great for banks or walls. This morning glory has dark green leaves and bright lavender blue flowers.

Lavender blue might be too light a purple shade for the reader who posed the question, However both of these plants are easy to care for perennials.

Feel free to leave me garden or plant related questions. I’d be happy to try to find the answers for you.
