sweet potato vine
Cascading chartreuse groundcover
Sweet potato vine is an ornamental plant grown for its colorful, trailing foliage rather than its edible tubers.
The heart-shaped or lobed leaves come in shades of chartreuse, purple, or bronze, making it popular in hanging baskets and container gardens: The sweet potato vine spilled over the edge of the planter.
Though related to the edible sweet potato, ornamental varieties produce insignificant or unpalatable roots.
