Sweetpotato plant named ‘NCORNSP-030ILPL’

Abstract

‘NCORNSP-030ILPL’ is a moderately compact and loosely upright variety of Ipomoea batatas 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. ‘NCORNSP-030ILPL’ has been shown to be less vigorous than Ipomoea batatas ‘Margarita’ and ‘Mackie’ and is suitable for use as a landscape or containerized plant.

We claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct cultivar of  Ipomoea batatas  plant named ‘NCORNSP-030ILPL’, substantially as illustrated and described herein.
