Ipomoea Black Heart vine ( purple sweet potato)

The plant commonly referred to as “Ipomoea Black Heart vine” is a cultivar of Ipomoea batatas, the sweet potato, but specifically grown for its ornamental foliage rather than its tubers. Its botanical name is Ipomoea batatas ‘Black Heart’. This vine is characterized by its attractive, heart-shaped leaves that are typically a deep, dark purple to almost black color, providing a striking contrast in gardens and containers. It’s a vigorous grower with a trailing habit, making it popular for hanging baskets, window boxes, as a ground cover, or as a “spiller” in mixed container plantings.

While it belongs to the same species as the edible sweet potato, the ‘Black Heart’ cultivar is primarily valued for its aesthetic appeal. The tubers it produces are not typically palatable and the plant is cultivated for its beautiful foliage. It thrives in warm weather and prefers full sun to partial shade, requiring well-drained soil and regular watering, especially when grown in containers.
