IPOMEA BATATAS S.H.J. B.

₹19.00

Ipomoea batatas ‘S.H.J. B.’, commonly referred to as the Sweet Potato Vine (Special Hybrid), is a hybrid variety of the ornamental sweet potato vine, known for its vigorous growth and unique foliage color. This hybrid produces heart-shaped leaves that can range from green to purple, depending on the growing conditions, with some plants exhibiting variegated patterns of light and dark hues. It’s primarily used as an ornamental vine, often cascading over hanging baskets, draping trellises, or as a fast-growing ground cover. Though not typically grown for its edible roots, this variety does have edible sweet potatoes in favorable conditions. Supplied in a 1-inch net pot — plant directly with the net pot into the ground or a larger planter.
