Description

(Sweet Potato Vine) Bring bold drama to your containers and garden beds with Proven Winners® Sweet Caroline ShadowStorm™ Sweet Potato Vine. This vigorous annual is grown for its striking foliage rather than flowers. The large, heart shaped leaves are a great mix of green and near black creating a splotching look and add a moody elegance that instantly elevates mixed plantings. With a trailing, cascading habit, it grows 6-16 inches tall and spreads an impressive 24–36 inches, making it an excellent spiller in hanging baskets, patio pots, and window boxes, or a groundcover in sunny landscapes.

Thriving in full sun to part sun, Sweet Caroline ShadowStorm™ Sweet Potato Vine develops its most intense color with plenty of light. Its bold foliage provides contrast to brightly blooming annuals like petunias, calibrachoa, and begonias. Plant in well-drained soil avoid waterlogged conditions, which can stress the roots. Though it rarely flowers, it delivers continuous foliage interest until frost. For best growth and lush coverage, use a slow-release fertilizer at planting time or feed every 2–3 weeks with a balanced water-soluble fertilizer.

With its dramatic color and vigorous trailing habit, Sweet Caroline ShadowStorm™ Ipomoea is a statement plant that ties container designs and garden beds together with bold texture and depth.
