Patrick's survival guide
Professional foodie
Need to know what 5-star restaurants are in your vicinity at all times? Sounds like you need a friend like Patrick… Plantsome’s very own walking Yelp guide. No matter how exquisitely Patrick dines, he won’t snub a steaming hot side of fries, nor a street ‘dog. The more food, the better. The only thing he won’t tolerate is a picky eater—unless, of course, you’re eating what HE picks.

What makes Patrick so special
The Ipomoea Batatas, otherwise known as the sweet potato vine, is a vining outdoor plant that comes in a variety of stunning colours. The perfect ground cover, basket filler, or focal point, it does best in full sun and will produce richly coloured leaves. The sweet potato vine prefers moist, well-draining soil, but otherwise is a fairly easy care plant. Pruning and fertilizing can be done on an as-needed basis. The Sweet Potato Kaukura produces potatoes with orange skin and flesh, and is a delicious edible plant! When harvesting, only brush off the dirt before storing. Wash the potatoes before consuming.

How do you measure height?
Good question! We measure the height from the top of the plant to the bottom of the pot (including the pot itself).
