Bronze Ipomoea Plant

The Bronze Ipomoea Plant is truly in a class all by itself! This phenomenal ornamental will highlight any landscape with its coppery-bronze coloration and deep burgundy veining. This one is showy, superbly immune to the heat and is a vigorous sun lover. It also thrives in full shade, though its growth will be slower. The Bronze Sweet Potato Vine has an amazing trailing habit in beds and as a naturalizer, and cascades beautifully from containers and hanging baskets.
