| Comments: Ornamental Sweet Potato - Ipomoea batatas - Sweet Potato Vine adds an easy element to gardening. Sweet potatoes are tender perennial tuberous plants. The Ornamental Sweet Potato tubers don't taste good but some of the tubers look similar to garden varieties. You get a lot of coverage from a single plant and they make a nearly permanent ground cover. I have mowed them when they get too old and back they came better than ever. The chartreuse and black colors are the most popular and useful in your garden design. These vines add a 'SPILLER' element to large containers that drapes to the floor and beyond to add another dimension to the focal point you are creating. | |||
