Notes
'Sweet Caroline Raven' sweet potato vine (Ipomoea batatas 'Sweet Caroline Raven') is an annual for containers, shade gardens, and pollinator gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full or part sun and dry to wet, loamy soil. It sits low on the menu for deer. The vines climb at a rapid pace, and bees visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Taro, Northwind switchgrass, and Great Silence dahlia.
