Why are the vines of my moon flower purple?

Kiah asked:
I have moon flower plans, Ipomoea Alba. And I collected seeds form one and planted them. The seeds came up beautiful but with one problem, the vine and leaves have a purple color. The vines are completely a rich purple and the veins in the leaves are purple as well. I am wondering if they are some sort of hybrid or something, or perhaps there is something too rich, or lacking for that matter in the soil. Will they still produce the beautiful white flowers?
It was not labeled incorrectly because it was a seed from a moon flower plant I have already grown.
I purchased new seeds form Burpee and put them in the same soil, and THOSE vines are purple as well.
