I wanted to do a thread on these vines. I am quite enchanted by these lovely vines and leaves. And I love the fact that they cascade down like a waterfall...

Correct me if I am wrong ... This is 'Margarita'?

I don't know a whole lot about I. batatas. Do they ALL flower? I haven't seen flowers on any of mine. That's cool if they do! :-)

You can induce blooming in ipomoea batatas with a foliar application of GA3 (200ppm) that is how they create hybrids
