IPOMOEA SWEET CAROLINE GREEN

While at the garden centre this morning, just to get a tomato growbag, I mooched.  Mooching around is always a mistake.  You tell yourself you'll just have a little look in case you've forgotten something vital - as if there is ever anything really vital - and then you spot something you haven't seen before, or spot something you have always wanted, or spot something you have had in the past and wish to have again.  Ipomoea Sweet Caroline is something I have never had or seen before.  Unfortunately it is only an annual but I had to have it.  I visualised it adorning my marble table (the begonia will have to find somewhere else to hang out, if that is the case) or maybe the step by the door, or some other place that needs a dash of brilliance and interesting shapes because that is what Ipomoea Sweet Caroline Green has.  Apparently, the Sweet Caroline range comes in other colours.  Fancy!

Ipomoea Sweet Caroline Green

Ipomoea Sweet Caroline Green likes full sun.  And is suitable to plant in a pot or basket, or as a bedding plant.  It grows to a height of about 25cm and a width of 30cm (10 x 12 in), likes a moist but well-drained soil, and enjoys a weekly feed.  As far as I know, it does not flower and might need to be trimmed to keep a neat shape.
