Plant Ipomoea Sweet Caroline 'Light Green' in full sun to partial shade in well-drained, fertile soil. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged, and feed monthly with a balanced liquid fertiliser to encourage lush growth. Although this variety rarely flowers, its foliage is the star attraction. Trim back any overgrown stems to maintain its shape and prevent it from overtaking other plants in mixed plantings.
Perfect for adding a bold pop of colour, Sweet Caroline 'Light Green' pairs beautifully with darker foliage plants like coleus or purple sweet potato vines. Use it as a spiller in containers and hanging baskets, where its trailing habit creates a lush, cascading effect. It also works well as a ground cover in garden beds, providing a vibrant backdrop for flowering plants like petunias, geraniums, or calibrachoa.
