Article: Growing and Propagating Ornamental Sweet Potatoes: Save them for next year and save $$: Zone

Author Content MarilynneS Thunder Bay Ontario Canada (Zone 3a) February 21, 2010 3:09 PM Post #7576698 Loved the article and have heard that many of the Canadian forum gardeners have used the Sweet Potato Vine (plant) as a filler for baskets, and, it is sold in greenhouses here in Thunder Bay as an annual .. Is there a Zone preference .. I am in 3a, but, can suprisingly grow lotsa stuff not recommended for this area. Thanks ~M~ critterologist Frederick, MD (Zone 6b) February 21, 2010 10:12 PM Post #7577502 I think they're fairly tender in terms of not leaving them in the ground for the winter in nontropical areas... but I think they'll thrive during the summer in pretty much any zone. Just pull up your "annual" sweet potato at the end of the season & look for a tuber!
