Name: Sweet potato

Latin name: Ipomoea batatas (Sweet potato)

Scientific name: Ipomoea batatas

Height: 20–40 cm (vines spread 1–2+ m)

Flower colour: Pale lavender to light pink, morning-glory-like flowers

Flowering period: Summer (occasionally, depending on conditions)

Soil: Loose, well-drained, fertile soil; warm soil improves tuber development

Sunlight: Full sun

Water needs:

Moderate; consistent moisture during establishment and swelling

Wintergreen: Perennial in warm climates (often grown as annual)

Permaculture: Excellent edible ground cover; useful living mulch in warm beds; productive crop for seasonal resilience

Plant in full sun in warm soil; use a large container or open bed with space for vines. Keep soil evenly moist during establishment, then water deeply during dry periods. Feed lightly with compost or a balanced fertiliser; avoid excessive nitrogen to support better tuber formation. Allow vines to trail as ground cover or guide them along bed edges. Harvest tubers once vines slow down and nights cool; handle gently to avoid bruising.

Let us make your green project easier,
from our garden to yours.

We take great care to ensure that every plant we deliver is healthy, strong, and in its best condition. Up until the moment of delivery, we are fully responsible for your plant. Once it arrives, however, the responsibility shifts to you.

Please understand that plants are living organisms and require the right care to thrive. Overwatering, poor soil, or unsuitable conditions can all affect the health of your plant, and these factors are outside of our control.

We do not offer a warranty, as we cannot guarantee how a plant will be treated after delivery. Buying plants always carries a small natural risk: 2% to 10% of plants may not survive, even if everything appears fine from the outside. Unfortunately, this is part of working with nature and not something we can prevent or refund.

Thank you for understanding the delicate nature of plants, and for giving them the best possible care once they’re in your hands.
