IPOMEA BATATAS MAR.

₹19.00

Ipomoea batatas ‘Mar.’*, commonly known as Purple Sweet Potato Vine, is a variety of ornamental sweet potato vine that is prized for its vibrant purple foliage and fast-growing nature. Native to the tropical Americas, this variety is often grown as a ground cover or climbing vine, with its heart-shaped leaves making a stunning contrast against the rich purple stems. The plant produces small, trumpet-shaped flowers that are typically white or lavender. Though primarily used as an ornamental plant, it also produces edible sweet potatoes if grown under suitable conditions. Supplied in a 1-inch net pot — plant directly with the net pot into the ground or a larger planter.
