The purple sweet potato vine (Ipomoea batatas) is a vibrant ornamental plant known for its lush, deep purple or burgundy foliage. A member of the morning glory family, it is a relative of the edible sweet potato but is typically grown for its attractive leaves rather than for food. Here’s a bit more about it:

Characteristics:

  • Leaves: Heart-shaped to lobed, with a rich purple hue that adds a dramatic contrast to garden beds or containers.
  • Growth Habit: Vigorous, trailing vine; great for cascading over pots, hanging baskets, or as ground cover.
  • Sun Requirements: Thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. More sunlight enhances its purple color.
  • Soil and Water Needs: Prefers well-drained, moist soil and benefits from regular watering, especially in hot weather.

Uses:

  • Ornamental Landscaping: Often used as ground cover or in mixed containers for its striking color.
  • Pollinator Support: While not known for flowers, when it does bloom, it attracts pollinators.
  • Edible Tubers: Though it does produce tubers, they are typically smaller and less palatable than those of varieties grown specifically for food.
