Notes
'White Bonita' sweet potato vine (Ipomoea batatas 'White Bonita') is an annual for borders, containers, and low maintenance 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, sandy or loamy soil. It grows fast and spreads wide, so give it room. Deer rarely make it their first choice.
Pairs well with Taro, Lion's tail, American Dawn dahlia, and Vetiver.
