Sweet Potato Vine Asst. 10" Hb

The Sweet Potato Vine is a popular ornamental plant known for its lush, trailing foliage that comes in vibrant shades of green, purple, and variegated patterns. An interesting characteristic of the Sweet Potato Vine is its fast-growing nature, which makes it perfect for creating a cascading effect in hanging baskets, adding a splash of color and texture to patios and outdoor spaces.

In southern Louisiana, Sweet Potato Vine can trail up to 3 to 4 feet from a hanging basket, creating a full, flowing appearance. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and is well-suited for USDA zones 9-11, but it should be protected from temperatures below 50°F as it is sensitive to cold. The plant prefers moist, well-drained soil and should be watered regularly, especially during hot weather, but avoid waterlogging to prevent root issues.
