Blackie Potato Vine grows deep purple, nearly black five-lobed leaves that spread, vine, and add great contrast color everywhere it grows. Ipomoea, commonly referred to as Sweet Potato Vine, is a tender perennial and a greenery favorite. Its colors will come to life through early Spring, Summer, and Fall, right up until the first frost. Ipomoea is desired most for its vivid foliage, rapid vigorous growth, heat tolerance, and trailing/vining growth habit for landscape, beds, baskets, and containers. Ipomoea is great for early Spring through Fall and Winter in mild climates with vibrant colors to brighten up any container or landscape.
