Like many species of Ipomoea, this plant is cultivated for its flower blooms. It is a climbing herbaceous tree that grows in a seasonally dry tropical biome, and has four accepted infraspecific named variations. The seeds of this plant have an oval shape and have filamentous margins.

As with many species of Ipomoea, I. setosa reportedly has alkaloids that make consuming the plant unpleasant for herbivores. It is not grown for consumption but for aesthetics.
