Notes
'Sweet Caroline Upside Black Coffee' sweet potato vine (Ipomoea batatas 'Sweet Caroline Upside Black Coffee') is an annual for containers, pollinator gardens, and shade 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. Deer rarely make it their first choice. It climbs fast, tolerates drought, and draws bees.
Pairs well with Purple top, Labyrinth dahlia, and Northwind switchgrass.
