Ipomoea batatas
This newer variety of sweet potato vine is compact, has denser leaves, and is less likely to spread vigorously. These qualities make this ipomoea perfect for mixed planters, garden beds, hanging baskets, and window boxes. Its unique leaf shape and colour add interest to containers and landscapes. Limeade features stunning and vibrant chartreuse green palmate-shaped foliage and pretty lavender flowers. Well-branched, compact habit, and low maintenance. Versatile plant – good as an accent plant in baskets and planters.
