Sweetpotato plant named ‘NCORNSP-032SCRHI’

Abstract

‘NCORNSP-032SCRHI’ 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 red to burgundy five lobed leaves, a moderately-compact habit and semi-erect mounding plant architecture. The burgundy leaves, uniform color, short internodes, and the plant architecture, which promotes good plant production in the greenhouse for wholesale distributors, distinguishes ‘NCORNSP-032SCRHI’ amongst the current ornamental sweetpotatoes in the marketplace. In greenhouse and field trials, ‘NCORNSP-032SCRHI’ is shown to be suitable for use as a landscape or containerized plant. The production of flowers by ‘NCORNSP-032SCRHI’ is not observed under short-day conditions.

We claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct cultivar of  Ipomoea batatas  plant named ‘NCORNSP-032SCRHI’, substantially as illustrated and described herein.
