Abstract: Ipomoea batatas ‘Sweet Caroline Sweetheart Purple’ is a compact to moderately-compact cultivar producing many shoots and having dense foliage. This cultivar is distinguishable from other cultivars by its small to medium-sized heart- to spade-shaped dark purple leaves. The plant has a good vigor, but is less vigorous than Ipomoea batatas ‘Margarita’ and ‘Blackie’ and unlike these cultivars, ‘Sweet Caroline Sweetheart Purple’ may be grown in containers with other species. The production of flowers by ‘Sweet Caroline Sweetheart Purple’ is relatively rare even under short day conditions.
