Notes
'Sweet Caroline Sweetheart Shadowstorm' sweet potato vine (Ipomoea batatas 'Sweet Caroline Sweetheart Shadowstorm') is an annual for containers, shade gardens, and pollinator gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full or part sun and dry to wet, loamy soil. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. It climbs at a rapid rate, tolerates drought, and draws bees.
Pairs well with Purple top, Sedge, and Labyrinth dahlia.
