Sweet Georgia® Light Green - Ipomoea batatas

Sweet Georgia Light Green is the trade selection for patented cultivar ISGLG02-1, a distinct plant within the Sweet Georgia series. Its patent describes vibrant light-green palmate foliage with upright, mounding, outwardly spreading growth; it identifies the plant as a mutation of the unpatented Sweet Georgia Light Green line. See the [plant patent](https://patents.google.com/patent/USPP32198P2/en) and the [Green Fuse series page](https://green-fuse.com/new/ipomoea-sweet-georgia/) for identity and series context. ## Growing conditions Green Fuse's Sweet Georgia culture sheet recommends full sun, mixed containers, and evenly moist growing media for production. NC State Extension describes *Ipomoea batatas* as suited to full sun or partial shade in loamy, well-drained soil rich in organic matter; conditions can vary with climate and placement. See the [Green Fuse culture sheet](https://green-fuse.com/new/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Ipomoea-Sweet-Georgia%C2%AE.pdf) and [NC State's species guide](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/ipomoea-batatas/). ## Uses The patent identifies ornamental container and garden use. Its upright, mounding, outward-spreading habit suits mixed plantings where light-green foliage can contrast with other leaves. ## Maintenance The patent reports abundant branching without pinching or chemical growth regulators, and the breeder's culture sheet says regulators are generally unnecessary for the series. Prune selectively only if you need to guide the plant's spread.
