Description Ipomoea batatas 'Margarita' is a fast-growing ornamental sweet potato vine grown for its vibrant chartreuse foliage and trailing habit. Its bright lime-green leaves provide a striking contrast to flowering plants and darker foliage, making it a popular choice for hanging baskets, containers, window boxes, and summer displays. The cascading stems can quickly spill over the edges of pots, creating a lush, colourful effect throughout the growing season.
Plant Care
Position: Full sun to partial shade. Leaf colour is often brightest in a sunny position, though plants may appreciate some afternoon shade during very hot weather.
Watering: Water regularly throughout the growing season, particularly when grown in containers. Keep soil moist but well-drained.
Hardiness: Tender perennial, typically grown as an annual in the UK. Not frost hardy and should be protected from temperatures below 5°C.
Hot Tips: Excellent for combining with flowering bedding plants, grasses, and tropical displays. Regular feeding throughout summer will encourage vigorous growth and vibrant foliage. Pinch back stems if needed to maintain a fuller appearance.
