Sweet Caroline™ Bewitched Ipomoea Plant

Sweet Caroline Bewitched After Midnight™ Ipomoea Plant by Proven Winners® is brand new for 2012 and has beautifully textured, elegantly scalloped foliage with a superb combination of soft points and graceful curves! The color is also unusual, being glossy dark purple with just a hint of dark green undertones and which, when backlit, appears startlingly luminescent, showing off the delicate venation that contributes to the wonderful texture. Bewitched is an idyllic name for this Sweet Potato Vine!
