Inky purple-black foliage splashed with electric lime green across smooth, heart-shaped leaves.
Sweet Caroline Sweetheart Shadowstorm® is an ornamental sweet potato vine grown for foliage, producing trailing growth with bold variegation that adds contrast and visual movement to containers and landscapes.
What You'll Use It For
A high-contrast spiller that adds pattern and breaks up solid color blocks.
- Letting it trail from containers for a bold, patterned edge
- Adding contrast to mixed plantings without relying on flowers
- Pairing with solid greens or dark foliage for visual variation
- Breaking up flat color combinations with a more dynamic texture
- Filling landscape beds with fast-growing, eye-catching foliage
Why Lazy Leaf Loves It
This one stands out immediately. The near-black base gives you depth, while the lime green splatter adds movement, so every leaf feels slightly different and the plant never looks static.
Unlike older variegated varieties that can get thin or uneven, this selection stays fuller and more balanced as it grows, so you don't have to constantly trim it to keep it looking good. As part of the Sweet Caroline series from Proven Winners®, it's bred for strong vigor, heat tolerance, and consistent performance, making it an easy way to add pattern without extra maintenance.
