spj Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 I've started including the "black" leafed morning glory (grown for its leaf rather than its flowers) in my summer pots because it makes such a glorious background to other flowering plants. Ours have just died back and I've been digging them out of the pots. Each root ball comes with a load of big fat tubers and I wondered whether anyone has had any luck overwintering the tubers and getting them to sprout into plants the following year? Seems such a waste just to throw them away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patf Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 You've got me interested in this, I didn't know the plant was from the sweet potato. I've found a link in english which mentions propagation:https://www.finegardening.com/plant/sweet-potato-vine-ipomoea-batatas-blackie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
