Lovely variegated sweet potato cultivar. It's growth habit is very similar to that of 'Pink Frost,' tender and less sun-loving. I use it in many hanging baskets that get primarily shade. When grown in too much sun, the plant struggles significantly.

Short, mounding variety of I. batatas. Foliage is mottled green, gold and white, like a Marble Queen Ivy.
