Ipomoea batatas 'Blackie' typically flowers in late summer to early fall, depending on the growing conditions and climate. The flowers are usually not the main attraction, as the focus is on the striking foliage. If the plant is in ideal conditions—full sun and well-draining soil—it may produce its trumpet-shaped blooms from late July through September. However, flowering can vary widely based on local climate and care.
