Sweet Potato Vine, Ornamental, "Blackie" variety (Ipomoea batatas 'Blackie')

  They say that black is the sum of all colors . . . "Blackie" Sweet Potato Vine is an excellent example of this concept. Describing this foliage is "black" does not do it justice. These leaves are a carnival of deep purple, dusty teal, burgundy, magenta, army green and new leaf green all at once. They are STUNNING. I came across this photo again today while assembling my write-up on the care and feeding of "Blackie" Sweet Potato Vine: https://solaciousseeds.blogspot.com/.../sweet-potato-vine... The colors in this photo are too good not to share.
