If the plant is indeed I. alba then it is a species of morning glory and 
grows into an immense vine. It also forms a tuber , which in mild climates, 
will resprout and grow the next year. (Several vines, including sweet potato 
and jacama) have this characteristic. I plant I. alba each year in my climate 
zone mixed with heavenly blue morning glories giving the trellis a carpet of 
blue flowers during the day followed with the large white trumpets of the 
moon flower in the evening. Magnificent plant, IMO.
