Notes
'Sweet Caroline Upside Key Lime' sweet potato vine (Ipomoea batatas 'Sweet Caroline Upside Key Lime') 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. Bees visit the blooms in summer, and the climbing vines grow fast.
Pairs well with Purple top, Labyrinth dahlia, and Aureola Japanese forest grass.
