Meet Sweet Potato Vine 'Margarita': a fast-growing trailing vine with bright chartreuse leaves, a classic "spiller" for containers and hanging baskets and a quick-filling groundcover in beds.
WHAT ARRIVES
2 live starter plugs, each approximately 6 to 8 inches long. Because these plants are grown from cuttings, size can vary slightly from one plug to the next.
PET-FRIENDLY NOTE
Sweet potato vine is listed as non-toxic to dogs, cats and horses by the ASPCA. Seeds of Ipomoea plants can be toxic if eaten, but ornamental vines rarely flower or set seed.
WHERE IT SHINES
Spilling over hanging baskets, window boxes and mixed containers, or covering ground quickly in beds and borders. Its chartreuse color pairs well with dark foliage, such as Sweet Potato Vine 'Blackie,' and with purple or red flowers.
GROWING IT
Plant in full sun to part shade in average, well-drained soil. Water regularly, especially in hot weather, and keep the soil moist but not soggy. Space plants 18 to 24 inches apart as a groundcover. Vines stay about 4 to 10 inches tall while spreading 4 to 5 feet in a season.
CLIMATE
Tender perennial in USDA zones 9 to 11, where it may die back after frost and regrow from its roots. In colder areas, grow it as a fast-filling summer annual.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Give young plugs a few weeks to root in before they begin trailing. Growth is fastest in heat and humidity and more compact in cooler, drier weather. 'Margarita' is a vigorous grower, so trim it back if it starts to overwhelm neighboring plants in a mixed container. Ornamental sweet potato vines can form tubers, but they're starchy and not grown for eating.
