Sweet Caroline Sweetheart Mahogany™ Ornamental Sweet Potato Vine

Deep mahogany foliage with rich burgundy undertones and smooth, heart-shaped leaves.

Sweet Caroline Sweetheart Mahogany™ is an ornamental sweet potato vine grown for foliage, producing controlled trailing growth that adds depth and warmth to containers and landscapes.

What You'll Use It For

A deep-toned spiller that grounds plantings and adds richness.

• Letting it trail from containers for a full, cascading edge
• Pairing with lime or chartreuse foliage for strong contrast
• Adding depth to mixed plantings without going fully black
• Blending into warm palettes with reds, oranges, and golds
• Filling landscape beds as a fast-growing groundcover

Why Lazy Leaf Loves It

This one gives you depth without the harshness of black foliage. The mahogany tone feels softer and more natural, making it easier to blend into a wider range of combinations while still providing strong contrast.

Compared to lighter or more bronze varieties, this selection holds a deeper, more saturated color—especially in full sun—so it doesn't wash out mid-season. As part of the Sweet Caroline series from Proven Winners®, it's bred for controlled growth, heat tolerance, and consistent performance, making it easy to use in both containers and landscapes.
