Sweet Potato Vine ‘Marguerite’ (Ipomoea batatas)

Sweet Potato Vine ‘Marguerite’ (Ipomoea batatas) is a vigorous ornamental foliage plant known for its bright chartreuse, heart-shaped leaves and fast-growing trailing habit. This variety adds bold colour contrast and texture to containers, hanging baskets, and garden beds, making it a popular choice for mixed plantings.

Marguerite is valued for its strong growth and ability to quickly fill space, acting as an effective spiller in containers or as a groundcover in landscape settings. Its vibrant foliage pairs well with both flowering annuals and darker-leaved plants, enhancing overall garden design.

In Alberta, this plant is grown as an annual and thrives during the warm summer months. It performs best in full sun but can tolerate partial shade, though foliage colour may be less intense with reduced light.
