Sweet Potato Vine ‘Blackie’ – Ipomoea batatas
Proven Accents® Blackie

Description:
Sweet Potato Vine ‘Blackie’ (Ipomoea batatas) is a striking ornamental plant grown for its dramatic foliage. The plant produces deep purple to almost black cascading leaves, making it a stunning choice for ground cover, green mulch, or decorative containers.

This fast-growing vine works beautifully in pots, hanging baskets, garden beds, borders, and window boxes, where its trailing habit adds bold colour and contrast to the garden.

‘Blackie’ is part of the Proven Accents® range and has been bred specifically for its foliage, meaning it focuses its energy on producing lush leaves rather than edible tubers.
