How to Identify Sweet Potato Vine (Ipomoea batatas)


This is Sweet Potato Vine, a cultivated ornamental variety of sweet potato. It is a perennial vine that is grown for its attractive foliage.

The plant has long, trailing vine-like stems. They are smooth and hairless, and display the same rich coloring as the leaves of the plant.

The leaves grow alternate along the stem and have long petioles. They vary in shape from ovate to deeply lobed, and have simple margins. They can display a range of colors from light yellowish green to rich purples and reds. They are hairless on their upper and lower surfaces.

Sweet Potato vine likes full sun and high temperatures. It prefers moist soils but is highly drought-tolerant. As it is a form of sweet potato, the stems, leaves, and tubers are edible.
