My sister picked these hanging baskets out the other day for her back patio, and is asking me for care tips. Would love to be able to do the proper research. Thanks!

I'm also interested in learning how to propagate the 2 blooming plants!

#1 looks like Petunias (Petunia)

#2 ??

#3 Ornamental Sweet Potato; a couple for comparison:
Ornamental Sweet Potato (Ipomoea batatas 'Carolina Green')
Ornamental Sweet Potato (Ipomoea batatas 'Margarita')

I think No. 1 might be Callibrachoa (Million Bells) from the size of the foliage. It's difficult to differentiate from a petunia without anything else in the picture for size comparison.

No. 2 could be Bacopa

Agree 3 is sweet potato
