Ipomoea Sweet Heart 'Jet Black' is a dramatic ornamental sweet potato vine prized for its striking, deep purple-black, heart-shaped foliage. Its rich, velvety leaves provide a bold contrast to lighter or more vibrant plants, adding depth and elegance to any planting scheme. With a vigorous, trailing growth habit, this plant is ideal for spilling over the edges of containers, hanging baskets, and raised beds, making it a favorite for creating lush, cascading displays throughout the growing season.

  • Height: 20–30 cm
  • Spread: 60–90 cm

Plant Ipomoea Sweet Heart 'Jet Black' in full sun to partial shade in well-drained soil. It thrives in warm conditions and benefits from consistent watering to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every few weeks to promote vigorous growth and maintain its lush appearance. Although it rarely flowers, its dramatic foliage steals the show. Prune as needed to control its spread and shape.

Sweet Heart 'Jet Black' makes a stunning addition to mixed containers and hanging baskets, where its dark foliage contrasts beautifully with bright blooms like pink petunias, yellow marigolds, or red geraniums. Pair it with silver or lime-green foliage plants like dichondra or sweet potato vine Sweet Caroline 'Light Green' for a bold and modern look. It also works well as a ground cover, adding depth and texture to flower beds and borders.

Heat-tolerant and fast-growing during summer.

Rarely flowers; grown for its striking foliage.

Not frost-hardy; treat as an annual in cooler climates.

Pet-safe but best kept out of reach to avoid chewing.
