Sweet Georgia® Light Green Ipomoea Plants produce a mesmerizing fluorescent green foliage with unique heart shaped leaves. This compact variety is perfect for containers as it won't compete in height or be too overbearing with its neighbors! You'll be impressed with the weather tolerance of these vigorous vines.
