Popular Potato Do The Sweet Potato Vines That Are So Popular In Containers Bare A Crop?

Do the sweet potato vines that are so popular in containers bare a crop? - popular potato

In recent years, I had sweet potato vines are really popular as a filler in a container / patio arrangements, potted plants. Is it really happening? Is there anything sweet potatoes in the pot falling behind?

The previous answers are meaningless. I know the vid speaks. I had one in a hanging basket and I was considered in the greenhouse during the winter. When spring comes, I went into the basket and found it was full of tubers! This is an ornamental plant, I suggest trying to eat. It might be interesting to try to plant material, new plants from the tubers, but ....

The ornamental vine "sweet potato" you speak of non-producing potatoes, but of purple flowers. This facility will be a year.

G'day Mate. Maybe this is not the answer you are looking for, but .....

Here in northern Queensland (Australia), sweet potatoes, as ground cover in the traffic islands, etc. increased. Increased by cuttings, and tubers are edible.

I worked on a farm in the Aboriginal community, where he grew sweet potatoes, corn, bananas, etc., for local consumption. The cuttings are planted in groups 3 a.m. to 4 p.m. mound. The memory is a harvest of 12 months here, and are harvested when the vines die. I think the plants left to grow on the islands of the movement are re-grow from tubers.

Sorry for the long answer. I hate long answers, right?

The ornamental sweet potato vine, which is usually as a kind of plants in hanging baskets or other large container of mixed plantings, and sometimes bear edible tubers are draped used. I grew dark purple leaves and had a variety of green and white with some pink-purple, small bulbs, and I succeeded. The size would have been impossible to eat but sweet potatoes are real and edible. I've heard it is the quality you expect from a sweet potato grown specifically as a food, but it would be dangerous to consume too. Could be an interesting experience ....

Two commonly known landscape vines planted potatoes - with white flowers and one with purple flowers. The plants are not at all similar in shape and have no potatoes.
