Description
Grown locally in our Woburn Greenhouses, Ipomoea (Sweet Potato Vine) Proven Accents Blackie is a bold and vigorous annual known for its deep purple to nearly black, heart-shaped foliage. This fast-growing variety creates dramatic contrast in containers, hanging baskets, and garden beds, making surrounding plants stand out. Sweet Potato Vine Proven Accents Blackie is especially valued for its long trailing vines and rich color, adding depth, texture, and movement to any planting.
Heat and drought tolerant once established, this low-maintenance sweet potato vine thrives in full sun to part sun and performs reliably all season long. Its trailing habit makes it perfect for spilling over the edges of containers or spreading as a dense groundcover. Whether used as a bold “spiller” in mixed planters or as a striking standalone accent, Ipomoea Proven Accents Blackie delivers lasting color and easy-care beauty to your outdoor spaces.
