Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A well-behaved variety with the dazzling chartreuse green we have grown to love in the older 'Margarita'. A spiller for containers, easy to grow and trouble-free, it can make your containers just come alive!

By: Select Seeds

Really more of a chartreuse, this fingered foliage plant adds contrast to containers. It cascades like the other potato vines but has a more compact, restrained growth habit.
