I love the way sweet potato leaves look but when I saw some at a nursery, they seemed really unruly. Are they hard to keep under control?

Not at all! I actually find them to be low maintenance. They’re not invasive for me at all. Im in 5a. They sure are beautiful. They compliment my flowers well in my window planters. Being in containers probably help! It’s nice watching them grow- I haven’t had to trim at all

Beautiful! I had no idea the flowers were so pretty! Does it make sweet potatoes or is it an ornamental sweet potato?

#### Jasneedshelp replied on 2025-08-20

Just ornamental! I believe they come in different colors! Not sure which are out there tho

The purple leaves is a sweet potato vine? I always thought they were bright green!
