Ipomoea 'Terrace Lime' has heart-shaped, yellow-green leaves, and Ipomoea 'Blackie' has the same foliage in burgundy. Ipomoea batatas also comes in a striking shade of green called Terrace Lime, as well as a green leaf with white and pink variegation called Pink Frost. Ipomoea pes-caprae and Merremia borneensis in the morning glow family don't track the sun's passage exactly, but they do generally keep blooms facing sun-ward during the flowering season, say Sandra Patino of the Instituto Humboldt in Bogota, Colombia, and her colleagues. |
