Sweet Georgia® Heart Light Green - Ipomoea batatas

Sweet Georgia Heart Light Green is represented here as the formal cultivar ISGHG04-1 of Ipomoea batatas. The [patent](https://patents.google.com/patent/USPP31727P2/en) describes bright green, heart-shaped foliage and a dense, bushy, spreading habit, and records improved resistance to sun-scald; its detailed plant measurements were made on an eight-week plant in a one-gallon pot. A [Lucas Greenhouses profile](https://www.lucasgreenhouses.com/plant/Ipomoea-batatas-Sweet-Georgia-Heart-Light-Green) under the same trade-selection name lists 4–8 inches in height and 24–30 inches in spread; those ranges are retained as trade-profile context, not universal mature measurements. ## Growing conditions The cultivar patent describes ornamental container and garden use.

It identifies the species as an annual groundcover or vine grown for ornamental foliage.
