Sweet Potato Vine

 

I love the results of the sweet potato vines with my petunias this year.

My pots are getting old and discolored but the trailing vines covered them nicely. The bright green color contrasts well with most any other plant. I love the aroma of the petunia's flowers ( they take me back to my childhood). It is amazing how our sense of smell recalls such vivid memories.

If you have never tried the SPV consider paring one with your favorite pot plantings next year. They need quite a lot of water but are sure to please your eye all summer and into the fall.
