Description
Marguerite ornamental sweet potato vine is prized for its vigorous trailing stems and vivid chartreuse, heart-shaped leaves. It brightens hanging baskets, mixed containers, and sunny landscape beds, where the foliage spills over edges and contrasts beautifully with flowering annuals.
Growing Marguerite in Alabama
Plant in sun to part sun in fertile, well-drained soil. Keep evenly moist while establishing and water containers regularly through Alabama’s hot summers, but avoid waterlogged roots. Trim long stems to keep the plant full and prevent it from overwhelming companion plants. Marguerite is grown as a warm-season annual in most of Alabama; frost damages the foliage, so plant after the last spring frost.
