Sweet Caroline Bewitched After Midnight™ II Ipomoea

(Sweet Potato Vine) Deep, dramatic foliage gives Sweet Caroline Bewitched After Midnight™ II Sweet Potato Vine an unforgettable presence in summer plantings. Nearly black leaves feature a deeply lobed, maple-like shape that adds both rich color and interesting texture. The dark foliage creates striking contrast without relying on flowers for its garden impact.

Growing 10-16 inches tall and spreading 24-36 inches wide, this Ipomoea develops a vigorous, trailing habit. Its spreading stems quickly fill containers before cascading over the edges. Use it in hanging baskets, window boxes, large patio containers, or mixed combinations. It also makes an attractive seasonal groundcover in garden beds.

Sweet Caroline Bewitched After Midnight™ II Sweet Potato Vine grows in part sun to full sun. Stronger sunlight helps develop the deepest foliage color. It handles summer heat well and continues growing vigorously throughout the warm season. Its dense growth makes it especially useful for filling open spaces between flowering annuals.

Plant Sweet Potato Vine in well-drained soil and provide consistent moisture. Established plants can tolerate short dry periods, but containers perform best with regular watering. Feed container-grown plants regularly to support vigorous growth. Trim trailing stems anytime they outgrow their space or need reshaping.
