Spotlight Lime Sweet Potato Vine
Compact self branching plants feature lime green foliage and, during late summer, morning glory style flowers in white with a purple eye. Plant in well drained moisture retentive soils in full sun for best foliage color and growth. Dig tubers in fall after first frost has knocked the foliage off and enjoy home grown sweet potatoes at the end of the season. Deer love the leaves.
