Cascading plants mound about 8 to 10 inches high!
Perfect for garden or container, this ornamental Sweet Potato is a trouble-free joy to grow!
Gardeners are falling in love with this easy-as-pie foliage plant! Ornamental Sweet Potato vines are ridiculously easy to grow, and this black-leaved variety (actually a deep, rich maroon) complements every other plant it borders. The show lasts for months on end, and is great for the garden as well as any container! Now THAT'S unbeatable performance!
Sweet Potato Blackie sports large, pointed leaves 4 to 7 inches long, arising in rosettes on a cascading plant that mounds up 8 to 10 inches and spills over the side of baskets, windowboxes, and tubs. A great companion to red- and yellow-foliaged plants, it highlights just about any color. Totally carefree!
This annual is available in plant form, grown in Park's bio-sponges and ready to take off in your garden or planter!
