Ipomoea batatas 'Margarita'

Sweet Potato Vine (Ipomoea batatas) 'Margarita' features bright chartreuse leaves lean to gold in sun, pale green in partial shade. They measure 8″ long by 6″ wide, reach 6–9″ tall, and are vaguely heart shaped. Plant with dark-leaved varieties for a stunning contrast in shape and shade. Also lovely with lavender-purple Heliotrope and the purple-leaved Pennisetum.

Our interest in Sweet Potatoes (Ipomoea batatas) is not in the edible roots but in the attractive foliage of our two ornamental varieties. Their large and colorful leaves cascade from containers in a seemingly endless stream all summer long, and their trailing habit makes them equally useful as striking, short-term ground covers or as skirts for upright plants. Plants thrive in full sun or partial shade with consistent moisture. Perennial in Zones 9-10.

Every state has agricultural regulations that restrict the shipment of certain plants. We're sorry, but we cannot ship this item to the following state: AL, AR and AZ.

HOW PLANTS ARE SHIPPED

The size of the plants we ship has been selected to reduce the shock of transplanting. For some, this means a large, bareroot crown. Others cannot travel bareroot or transplant best if grown in containers. We ship these perennials and annuals in 1 pint pots, except as noted. We must point out that many perennials will not bloom the first year after planting, but will the following year, amply rewarding your patience. We ship bulbs as dormant, bare bulbs, sometimes with some wood shavings or moss. Shrubs, Roses, vines, and other woody plants may be shipped bareroot or in pots. The size of the pot is noted in the quick facts for each item.

WHEN WE SHIP

We ship our bulbs and plants at the right time for planting in your area, except as noted, with orders dispatched on a first-come, first-served basis by climate zone. We also ship a wide range of containers and planters, tools, supplies, fertilizers, garden wear, garden decor items, as well as indoor decorations like wreaths and dried bouquets when available. Estimated dates for shipping are indicated in the green Shipping Details box for each item. Please supply a street address for delivery. Kindly contact us with two weeks notice, if you'll be away at the expected time of delivery.
