Sidekick Lime Sweet Potato Vine

Sidekick™ Lime is an ornamental sweet potato vine sold by Syngenta as product 70028150 ([Syngenta’s current catalog](https://online.flippingbook.com/view/636494595/1/)). The Canadian plant-variety record lists Sidekick Lime as the trade name and ‘Seki Lim’ as the denomination ([CFIA plant-variety record](https://active.inspection.gc.ca/english/plaveg/pbrpov/cropreport/spo/app00007067e.shtml)). ## Landscape Use Syngenta’s current catalog lists Sidekick Lime among its Sidekick selections. The line is semi-trailing, suited to part sun through full sun, and described at 12–14 inches tall by 30–36 inches wide. The catalog lists the line for containers and in-ground plantings and notes that its colors hold through intense summer heat; this is a line-level catalog statement, not a drought-tolerance claim. ## Growing Conditions Sweetpotato is an annual ground cover or vine in the morning glory family, Convolvulaceae. NC State Extension recommends full sun or partial shade in loamy, well-drained soil high in organic matter, and notes that ornamental cultivars are often used in mixed containers ([NC State Extension profile](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/ipomoea-batatas/)). The named Sidekick selection’s catalog dimensions are more specific than the broader species profile. ## Maintenance Give trailing stems room to spread or guide them along a trellis. In containers, check soil moisture regularly and water as needed; maintain good drainage and trim stems that extend beyond the intended space.
