- Ipomoea batatas is a member of the morning glory family Convolvulaceae. This species is grown worldwide and it exhibits a wide range of plant forms and colors. The cultivated members of Ipomoea batatas grown by farmers worldwide are commonly produced for consumption of their nutritious, enlarged storage roots. These types typically produce a fast growing green vine that has a wide variety of leaf shapes ranging from palmate and deeply lobed, to cordate or triangular shaped leaves with no lobes.
- Ipomoea batatas ornamental sweetpotato plants are a heat-loving, drought-tolerant, perennial vine typically grown as an annual.
- ornamental sweetpotato plants are distinguished from the edible cultivated forms in that they often do not produce attractive, enlarged storage roots suitable for human consumption. Instead, they possess unique foliage colors, leaf shapes, and growth habits, which have significant value in the ornamental marketplace.
- Ornamental sweetpotatoes are desirable in the landscape and ornamental industries because their foliage comes in a wide variety of colors (e.g., pale yellow to dark purple with some exhibiting temporal and individual leaf color variegation patterns) and plant shapes (e.g., mounded and very compact to prostrate and highly spreading). They can be grown in a potted plant and/or mixed planting format, and they have the ability to cover a large space or hang over walls and decorative pots creating brightly colored and textured backdrops in gardens and patios. Most ornamental sweetpotatoes grow and last the entire growing season and they require little maintenance. Moreover, these plants have few insect or disease problems.

Description
Latin name of the genus and species: The Latin name of the novel, ornamental plant variety disclosed herein is Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.
Variety denomination: The inventive cultivar of Ipomoea batatas disclosed herein has been given the varietal denomination ‘NCORNSP-027SCMG’.
Ipomoea batatas is a member of the morning glory family Convolvulaceae. This species is grown worldwide and it exhibits a wide range of plant forms and colors. The cultivated members of Ipomoea batatas grown by farmers worldwide are commonly produced for consumption of their nutritious, enlarged storage roots. These types typically produce a fast growing green vine that has a wide variety of leaf shapes ranging from palmate and deeply lobed, to cordate or triangular shaped leaves with no lobes.
Like their edible forms, Ipomoea batatas ornamental sweetpotato plants are a heat-loving, drought-tolerant, perennial vine typically grown as an annual. However, ornamental sweetpotato plants are distinguished from the edible cultivated forms in that they often do not produce attractive, enlarged storage roots suitable for human consumption. Instead, they possess unique foliage colors, leaf shapes, and growth habits, which have significant value in the ornamental marketplace.
Ornamental sweetpotatoes are desirable in the landscape and ornamental industries because their foliage comes in a wide variety of colors (e.g., pale yellow to dark purple with some exhibiting temporal and individual leaf color variegation patterns) and plant shapes (e.g., mounded and very compact to prostrate and highly spreading). They can be grown in a potted plant and/or mixed planting format, and they have the ability to cover a large space or hang over walls and decorative pots creating brightly colored and textured backdrops in gardens and patios. Most ornamental sweetpotatoes grow and last the entire growing season and they require little maintenance. Moreover, these plants have few insect or disease problems.
To meet the growing horticultural demand for ornamental sweetpotatoes, it is desirable to produce new cultivars of ornamental sweetpotato with new or improved foliage colors, variegation patterns, leaf shapes, and plant architectures. In addition, it would be advantageous to develop cultivars of ornamental sweetpotato exhibiting a more compact growth that do not out-compete other species in mixed containers.
‘NCORNSP-027SCMG’ was bred to meet the increasing demand for new ornamental sweetpotatoes. ‘NCORNSP-027SCMG’ is a compact, non-twining, upright variety producing many short shoots. It is distinguishable from other ornamental sweetpotato cultivars by its palmate, deeply lobed leaves with 5-9 lobes, a compact habit and semi-erect mounding plant architecture. The yellow-green (RHS 144B) leaves, short internodes, and the plant architecture, which promotes good plant production in the greenhouse for wholesale distributors, distinguishes ‘NCORNSP-027SCMG’ amongst the current ornamental sweetpotatoes in the marketplace. ‘NCORNSP-027SCMG’ exhibits very good vigor and is very well branched. In greenhouse and field trials conducted since 2016 by the breeding program and industry collaborators ‘NCORNSP-027SCMG’ has been shown to be much less vigorous than Ipomoea batatas ‘Margarita’ and ‘Blackie’ and is suitable for use as a landscape or containerized plant. ‘NCORNSP-027SCMG’ has not been observed to produce flowers under short- or long-day conditions.
Lineage. ‘NCORNSP-027SCMG’ (breeding designation NC9174-005ORN) originated from hand-pollinated seed from the proprietary Ipomoea batatas breeding lines NC8720-027ORN (the female parent; not patented) and NC8568-001ORN (the male parent; not patented). Botanical seed was harvested from ornamental lines grafted onto a flower-inducing I. setosa sweetpotato line in greenhouses between October 2014 and April 2015 in Raleigh, N.C.

The photographs in the drawings were made using conventional techniques and show the colors as true as reasonably possible by conventional photography. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description, which more accurately describe the colors of the new Ipomoea batatas.
The following is a detailed description of the botanical characteristics of a new and distinct cultivar of Ipomoea batatas plant known by the cultivar name ‘NCORNSP-027SCMG’. All colors cited herein refer to The Royal Horticulture Society Colour Chart designations (The Royal Horticultural Society, London, 1995, 4th ed.) except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. Plant descriptions are based on the standardized international sweetpotato descriptors established jointly by the International Potato Center (CIP), Lima, Peru; The Asian Vegetable Research and Development Center (AVRDC), Taipei, Taiwan; and the International Board for Plant Genetics Resources (IBPGR), Rome, Italy (CIP, AVRDC, IBPGR. 1991. Descriptors for Sweet Potato. Huaman, Z., editor. International Board for Plant Genetic Resources, Rome, Italy, 134pp.). Where dimensions, sizes, colors, and other characteristics are given, it is to be understood that such characteristics are approximations or averages set forth as accurately as practicable.
The descriptions reported herein are from a group of 55-day-old specimens grown individually in six-inch azalea pots. The plants were grown in Raleigh, N.C., under commercial practice in a glass-covered greenhouse, where, during the fall, day and night temperatures range between 30-40° C. and 22-26° C., respectively. After rooting, plants were treated with 200 ppm 20-10-20 fertilizer weekly. Plant histories were taken in April 2020 in Raleigh, N.C. Ipomoea batatas ‘NCORNSP-027SCMG’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions; therefore, the phenotype may vary under different environmental conditions such as season, temperature, light intensity, day length, cultural conditions, and the like, without however, any variance in the genotype.
- Classification:
-
- Botanical name.—Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.

- Inflorescence: The production of flowers by ‘NCORNSP-027SCMG’ is rare and flowers have not been obtained for the measurement of flower traits.
- Storage root coloration: Ipomoea batatas ‘NCORNSP-027SCMG’ generally does not produce underground storage roots, but if they are formed, the storage roots are typically small and malformed and do not meet USDA Sweetpotato Storage Root Grade Standards (see
FIGS. 7 and 8 ). Fibrous roots are typically cream (RHS 155B). Storage roots that are formed generally possess cream skin and a white flesh, but these colors are subject to soil characteristics and are not considered diagnostic features of the plant. - Disease or pest resistance: ‘NCORNSP-027SCMG’ is susceptible to whiteflies and thrips in a greenhouse environment. ‘NCORNSP-027SCMG’ is susceptible to damage by Japanese beetles (Popillia japonica) under outdoor conditions. The susceptibility of ‘NCORNSP-027SCMG’ to other known insects and pathogens of sweetpotato is unknown. Under low light conditions, slight edema may occur.
‘NCORNSP-027SCMG’ is distinct based on leaf shape and plant architecture. Of the common cultivars of ornamental sweetpotato, ‘NCORNSP-027SCMG’ is best compared with the ‘NCORNSP-012EMLC’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 21,744) and ‘NCORNSP-025SCK’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 31,855) cultivars (Table 2). Like both ‘NCORNSP-012EMLC’ and ‘NCORNSP-025SCK’, ‘NCORNSP-027SCMG’ has yellow-green leaves.
