Ipomoea (Sweet Potato Vine)
Color Name: Sweet Georgia® Green Heart
Sweet Georgia Light Green Sweet Potato Vine is primarily valued in the garden for its spreading and trailing habit of growth. Its attractive heart shaped leaves remain light green in color throughout the season. Very durable foliage for all-season color and texture; cascades beautifully from baskets and containers from spring to frost. Plant with contrasting colors for a stunning display.
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.
