Abstract
‘NCORNSP-024SCRI’ is a compact, non-twining, upright variety producing many short shoots. It is distinguishable from other cultivars by its purple palmate shaped leaves with a lobed base; a compact habit and semi-erect mounding plant architecture. The purple leaves, short internodes, and the plant architecture are what makes ‘NCORNSP-024SCRI’ unique amongst the current ornamental sweetpotatoes in the marketplace. ‘NCORNSP-024SCRI’ also exhibits very good vigor and is well branched.
