- 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-030ILPL’.
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-030ILPL’ was bred to meet the demand for new ornamental sweetpotatoes. ‘NCORNSP-030ILPL’ is a moderately compact and loosely upright variety with a moderate growth rate and is well branched. It is distinguishable from other ornamental sweetpotato cultivars by its burgundy palmate, very deeply lobed leaves with 5-7 lobes, a moderately-compact habit and semi-erect mounding plant architecture. The burgundy leaves, very deep lobing, short internodes, and the plant architecture, which promotes good plant production in the greenhouse for wholesale distributors, distinguishes ‘NCORNSP-030ILPL’ amongst the current ornamental sweetpotatoes in the marketplace. In greenhouse and field trials conducted since 2019 by the breeding program and industry collaborators ‘NCORNSP-030ILPL’ has been shown to be less vigorous than Ipomoea batatas ‘Margarita’ and ‘Blackie’ and is suitable for use as a landscape or containerized plant. The production of flowers by ‘NCORNSP-030ILPL’ is sporadic under short day conditions.
Lineage. ‘NCORNSP-030ILPL’ (breeding designation NC10287-074ORN) originated from hand-pollinated seed from the proprietary Ipomoea batatas breeding lines NC8818-076ORN (the female parent; not patented) and NC8213-005ORN (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 2017 and April 2018 in Raleigh, N.C. NC8818-076ORN resulted from open-pollinated seed harvested from the proprietary Ipomoea batatas breeding line NC4718-002ORN (the female parent; not patented). NC8213-005ORN resulted from open-pollinated seed collected from NC6176-002ORN (the female parent; NCORNSP-013GNLC, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 23,612). Botanical seed from this family were planted in the greenhouse in December 2018. The first cycle of selection on the population was exercised at the seedling tray stage and each survivor was transferred to a single 6-inch pot, which was then maintained in the greenhouse. Cuttings (2 each) were taken from the plants in April and planted in the field as unreplicated 2-plant plots, during mid-June 2019. The single, individual plant now known as ‘NCORNSP-030ILPL’ was selected Sep. 25, 2019 because of its combination of exceptional features, and it has been propagated asexually since that time.
Asexual Reproduction. Since its selection, Ipomoea batatas ‘NCORNSP-030ILPL’ has been asexually reproduced in Raleigh, N.C. predominantly by vegetative propagation of vine cuttings. Successively, there have been five cycles of vegetative propagation, one cycle of tissue culture micropropagation, and multiple vegetative propagation cycles to increase plant numbers. Asexual reproduction of ‘NCORNSP-030ILPL’ by cuttings has shown that the unique features of the new cultivar are stable and the plant reproduces true to type in successive generations.
‘NCORNSP-030ILPL’ was bred to meet the increasing demand for new ornamental sweetpotatoes. ‘NCORNSP-030ILPL’ is a moderately compact and loosely upright variety with a moderate growth rate and is well branched. It is distinguishable from other ornamental sweetpotato cultivars by its burgundy palmate, very deeply lobed leaves with 5-7 lobes, a moderately-compact habit and semi-erect mounding plant architecture. The burgundy leaves, very deep lobing, short internodes, and the plant architecture, which promotes good plant production in the greenhouse for wholesale distributors, distinguishes ‘NCORNSP-030ILPL’ amongst the current ornamental sweetpotatoes in the marketplace.

The production of flowers by ‘NCORNSP-030ILPL’ is sporadic under short day conditions.
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-030ILPL’. 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 50-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 N 20-10-20 fertilizer weekly. Plant histories were taken in October 2021 in Raleigh, N.C. Ipomoea batatas ‘NCORNSP-030ILPL’ 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.

- Inflorescence: The production of flowers by ‘NCORNSP-030ILPL’ is very sporadic and mostly observed under stressful conditions (e.g., drought, nutrient stress, cloudy weather). Shorter day lengths enhance flowering, but the precise photoperiod for flower induction is currently unknown. Solitary, regular funnel-form flowers arising from leaf axils on secondary lateral branches are formed. Peduncles are purple (RHS N79B). Peduncle length: about 2.8 cm, peduncle diameter: about 0.2 cm. Flower buds are purple (RHS 76B-76D) and elliptic. Limb color: cream (RHS 155A) on the outer surface and inner surfaces. The outer throat color begins purple (RHS 77D) and gradually lightens towards the limb. The limb is pentagonal to rounded with slight fragrance. Corolla length: about 4.0 cm, corolla width: about 4.3 cm. The flower averages five sepals. The outer sepals are shorter than the inner sepals. Average outer sepal length: about 1.0 cm, average outer sepal width: about 0.4 cm, average inner sepal length: about 1.1 cm, average inner sepal width: about 0.4 cm. The sepals are elliptic with an obtuse apex and smooth margins and are yellow-green (RHS 145B) in color. A single pistil consists of one style and one stigma about 2.3 cm in length. Stigma and style are both cream (RHS 157A). The stigma is exerted relative to the stamens. The flower averages five stamens. Pollen color: cream (RHS 155A). Pollen is profuse. Fruit has not been observed under normal greenhouse conditions.
- Storage root coloration: Ipomoea batatas ‘NCORNSP-030ILPL’ forms no, to small, underground storage roots that are typically malformed and do not meet USDA Sweetpotato Storage Root Grade Standards (see
FIG. 6 ). Fibrous roots are typically cream (RHS 155B). Storage roots that are formed possess red (RHS 49C) skin with a yellow-white (RHS 158B) primary flesh color and yellow-white (RHS 160D) secondary flesh color. - Disease or pest resistance: ‘NCORNSP-030ILPL’ is susceptible to whiteflies and thrips in a greenhouse environment. ‘NCORNSP-030ILPL’ is susceptible to damage by Japanese beetles under outdoor conditions. The susceptibility of ‘NCORNSP-030ILPL’ to other known insects and pathogens of sweetpotato is unknown. Under low light conditions, slight edema may occur.
- Comparison with other Ipomoea batatas cultivars: ‘NCORNSP-030ILPL’ is distinct based on leaf size, plant habit, color uniformity, and lobing. Of the common cultivars of ornamental sweetpotato, ‘NCORNSP-030ILPL’ is best compared with the ‘NCORNSP-013GNLC’ (U.S. Plant Pat.
