Ipomoea (Sweet Potato Vine)
Color Name: Tricolor
The Tricolor Ipomoea boasts exquisite, variegated leaves with shades of green, pink, and cream. It's a kaleidoscope of color for your garden! These beauties thrive in the sunshine, bringing warmth and radiance to your garden. Plant them in containers, hanging baskets, or let them climb up a trellis or fence.
Ipomoea is a great plant to add to any floral environment. Its high versatility makes it a wise choice for hanging baskets or ground coverage. Mix varieties of Ipomoea for unique trellis walls, hanging baskets, patio containers, and window boxes. Combine with other plants in the landscape to create a variety of color, texture, and dimension.
Growing Tips: Plant in full sun or partial shade. Average garden soil. Sweet Potatoes require ample moisture and sulk at the first hint of drought.
When planting in containers, hanging baskets and window boxes, we recommend using our potting soil which is specially formulated for our plants. An application of a time release fertilizer at the time of planting will help to ensure the best possible performance. Zehr's Osmocote blend is perfect for the job. We also suggest fertilizing every two weeks during the hot summer months of June, July and August with Maxsea, which you can purchase at Zehr's. Begonias, Impatiens and most plants grown for foliage normally do not need as much fertilizer.
