Sweet Caroline Red Hawk™ Ornamental Sweet Potato Vine |

Burnished burgundy-bronze foliage with warm copper undertones and softly lobed leaves.

Sweet Caroline Red Hawk™ is an ornamental sweet potato vine grown for foliage, producing vigorous trailing growth that adds warmth, depth, and movement to containers and landscapes.

What You'll Use It For

A warm-toned spiller that softens contrast and adds richness.

• Letting it trail from containers for a full, cascading edge
• Adding warmth to mixed plantings with reds, oranges, and golds
• Pairing with chartreuse or lime greens for strong contrast
• Filling landscape beds as a fast-growing groundcover
• Softening darker foliage combinations with a warmer tone

Why Lazy Leaf Loves It

This one sits in that perfect middle ground—deeper than green, but softer than black. The burgundy-bronze foliage adds warmth and depth without feeling heavy, which makes it easier to design with than darker varieties.

As part of the Sweet Caroline series from Proven Winners®, it's bred for strong vigor, heat tolerance, and reliable performance. It fills in quickly, trails evenly, and keeps its color consistent through the season, making it a dependable base plant for both containers and landscapes.
