Perfect Plant for Ground Cover or Growing Down a Hill

Published by ctackett77 under Gardening Edit This

I have found the perfect plant for anyone who likes vines and groundcover. It is an Ornamental Sweet Potato Vine. I put these in my garden, knowing they spread, but daggum, I had no idea just how much they would take over.  I do love the green ones and also the Blackey Sweet Potato Vine, which is purple in color, and makes a wonderful contrast to the green ones.  As of now, I have the green ones in the ground and the Blackey’s in a hanging basket. Next year, I will have them growing side by side down the hillside in my front yard. I will post some pictures of my Blackey’s when I take some tomorrow.

One response so far
