Sweet Potato Vine

Sweet Potato Vine – A Garden’s Graceful Drifter

With its cascading tendrils and heart-shaped leaves in shades of deep plum, bright lime, or bronzy green, the Sweet Potato Vine brings effortless beauty to every corner it touches. Whether spilling from a hanging basket, trailing through a porch pot, or tumbling over the edge of a garden bed, it adds softness, movement, and that just-right touch of charm.

At Wright’s Market, we adore Sweet Potato Vine for the way it gently ties everything together. It’s the quiet harmony in a mixed container, the touch of wild in a tidy border, the kind of plant that reminds us how beauty often lives in the in-between.

Where It Grows Best
This lovely spiller thrives in warm Southern sunshine, but it’s just as content in dappled afternoon shade. It's wonderfully adaptable—perfect for porch railings, patio pots, or tucked into beds for a lush, trailing effect.

Care Instructions

• Light: Full sun to part shade; deeper colors shine brightest with more sun

• Water: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy; don’t let it fully dry out

• Temperature: Loves the warmth—plant after the last frost and enjoy all season

• Soil: Well-draining soil with organic matter keeps it growing strong

• Bonus Tip: Trim back long vines as needed to keep baskets full and containers neat

Sweet Potato Vine isn’t just a backdrop—it’s a statement in softness. It’s the plant that sways in the summer breeze, catches the evening light just right, and makes any planting feel just a little more special.
