Introduce warm, dramatic texture to plantings with Ipomoea Cocoa Bean. Unlike typical aggressive sweet potato vines, this ornamental foliage plant features deeply lobed leaves in a striking palette of antique red, cinnamon, and subtle chartreuse.
Equally happy in full sun or partial shade, its trailing growth makes it an incredible filler or accent for mixed patio pots, hanging baskets, and garden borders. Its main benefit is its controlled habit, which allows it to add rich leaf colour without smothering nearby flowering annuals.
Enjoy continuous foliage beauty from spring right through to autumn. Drought-tolerant once established and virtually maintenance-free, it is an effortless pick for adding contrast to any container design.
