Ipomoea 'Sidekick Bronze Heart'

Large trailing foliage adds lushness to summer hanging baskets and container planters, and many gardeners seek out "the best" trailers when planting their summer gardens. What constitutes best will often be determined in part by the location and size of container. Short planters that sit on a table or deck, or those with a smaller diameter may be swamped by too much foliage, and will need to be cut back frequently. Larger hanging baskets such as our passion baskets can trail on and on, provided they're hung up well off the ground. 'Sidekick Bronze Heart' sweet potato vine has broad, lobed, light green leaves, often exhibiting bronze tones with red veins, and will mound up to 12 inches before cascading down to three feet in length, perfect for taller planters or hanging baskets. The amount of sun may change the coloring of the leaves, and many do best with at least half day sun.
