Can’t decide between a green or purple sweet potato vine for the spiller in your containers? Try this variegated selection that’s a little of both! Its heart-shaped, near-black leaves are speckled with green — each one is nature’s masterpiece. Compared to older variegated forms, the shape of Sweet Caroline Sweetheart Shadowstorm™ is fuller, so you won’t need to continually trim to prevent it from getting scraggly as it grows. Expect the new leaves to emerge green, then develop their unique patterning with maturity and exposure to sunlight. Any leaves that remain solid-colored can either be removed or enjoyed — either way, the plant will thrive all season. Grows to 36″ wide by 16″ tall. Zones 11a-11b

Available as Container Liner, Plug, 105-cell, 72-cell Seedling from Proven Winners (Booth #8055)
