Sweet Georgia® Bronze - Ipomoea batatas

Sweet Georgia® Bronze is an ornamental sweet potato vine in the Sweet Georgia series, with formal cultivar denomination ‘ISGBR03-1’. Its patent describes purple-bronze palmate leaves and a semi-compact plant with dense foliage. Green Fuse’s [2022 catalog listing](https://viewer.joomag.com/2022-liner-catalog/0458788001628597960/p262) describes this selection as compact and mounded, 4–8 inches tall and 24–30 inches wide. ## Form and Use The breeder recommends the Sweet Georgia series for mixed patio containers, window boxes, and baskets. Its compact growth is suited to smaller combinations where neighboring plants should keep room. The [US Plant Patent 31,753](https://patents.justia.com/patent/PP31753) identifies the Bronze selection by its ISGBR03-1 cultivar denomination and purple-bronze foliage. ## Light and Moisture The [Green Fuse culture sheet](https://green-fuse.com/new/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Ipomoea-Sweet-Georgia%C2%AE.pdf) recommends full sun for the series and keeping plants evenly moist. It notes that established vines can dry quickly as their leaf area expands, so check containers regularly during active growth. ## Maintenance Green Fuse says pinching is unnecessary in 4–6 inch pots and optional in larger containers. Avoid moisture stress, which the culture sheet associates with slowed development and leaf yellowing.
