Notes

'Sweet Caroline Light Green' sweet potato vine (Ipomoea batatas 'Sweet Caroline Light Green') is an annual for containers, shade gardens, and pollinator gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full or part sun and dry to wet, loamy soil. It climbs and grows at a rapid rate, and bees visit it. Deer rarely make it their first choice.

Pairs well with Taro, Great Silence dahlia, Sedge, and Northwind switchgrass.
