Description
This Ipomoea Sweet Caroline Light Green is a new variety of sweet potato with remarkably bright foliage designed for summer compositions. This frost-sensitive perennial plant grows very quickly and is typically grown as an annual. In just one season, it forms a sprawling dome with stems adorned with graphic chartreuse green foliage, beautifully divided into lobes reminiscent of oak leaves. This award-winning variety is highly heat-resistant and requires minimal maintenance, aside from regular watering. It is an incredible plant that can transform a hanging basket or a flower pot. It also makes for an original ground cover in sunny flower beds.
Ipomoea batatas is a plant from the Convolvulaceae family native to Central America and the Pacific islands. In its country of origin, it is a climbing perennial plant that can reach lengths of 1 to 3 metres (3 to 10 feet). 'Sweet Caroline Light Green' is a dwarf form, selected for its foliage and compact, spreading habit, which adds great ornamental value. This plant forms a rounded, dense, and branching clump that can trail or spread, depending on whether it is grown in a hanging basket or as a ground cover. It reaches a height of approximately 30cm (12in) in one season, with a minimum diameter of 70cm (28in). The large, palmate leaves are divided into five elongated lobes, lime green in colour, finely edged with a darker green, and pointed at their tips. This plant produces few flowers, small pink funnels, and is very adaptable to different soil types, as well as being tolerant of heat and summer drought.
Ipomoea 'Sweet Caroline Light Green' is used in flower compositions, in containers, flower pots, or hanging baskets. Combine the light and bright green foliage with the dark foliage of Ipomoea 'Illusion Midnight', for example, and the pink flowers of Diascias or pelargoniums. It will create unique annual borders and ground covers, providing a luminous backdrop for taller perennials. The foliage is lighter when the plant is placed in a sunny location and more green in semi-shade.
Note: Please be aware that our young plug plants are professional products intended for experienced gardeners. Upon receipt, transplant and store them in a sheltered location (greenhouse, conservatory, cold frame...) at a temperature above 14°C (57.2°F) for a few weeks before placing them outdoors, once the risk of frost has passed.

In pots, they need to be watered and fed regularly. These field of plants only live for a few months.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
