Ipomoea batatas 'Solar Power Red' (Sweet Potato Vine)

Solar Power Red sweet potato vine brings bold, saturated color to containers and landscapes with its deeply bronzed to burgundy-red, heart-shaped leaves. The foliage is richly toned and holds its color well through the season, making it a reliable choice when you need a dramatic foliage plant that won't fade on you come August.

This is a trailing annual built for the 'spiller' role in mixed containers. The densely branched stems cascade over pot edges and hanging baskets with an easy grace, and the plant tolerates heat and periods of drought better than most ornamental foliage annuals.

Pair it with bright yellow or orange flowering companions to let the dark foliage make those colors pop, or use it alongside soft lavenders and whites for a moody, sophisticated planting.
