I have also had the good luck of having plants come back from seed this past year all by themselves and they were just as beautiful as the original plants. I had no idea that this could be done. I have never seen the green ones bloom and didn't know you could save the tubers. I'll try that next year. Thanks so much for all the info.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-72404601210195448032007-08-23T01:04:00.000-05:002007-08-23T01:04:00.000-05:00Ohiomom,I hope you have good luck with your plants...Ohiomom,<BR/><BR/>I hope you have good luck with your plants you'd be surprised how many will make it through the winter with just the N facing window.<BR/><BR/>Sisah,<BR/><BR/>Did you try letting the tuber go dormant? I really want to overwinter mine but I'm hoping in the fall it will go dormant and I can just store the tubers without the leaves.<BR/><BR/>Connie,<BR/><BR/>I'll be interested to hear how your cuttings do...I'm going to try them too and hope for the best.MrBrownThumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11326733084344581944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-64426970587292473702007-08-21T14:52:00.000-05:002007-08-21T14:52:00.000-05:00I tried storing the tubers of the chartreuse one l...I tried storing the tubers of the chartreuse one last year, but when I planted them this spring, nothing happened.

But now they look alright again,though I havn´t seen a blossom yet. And to my surprise I noticed in the old patio container, where it was potted the year before, new leaves to come up . I must have had forgotten a tuber inside the old soil I left in there.Sisahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00474049358385449408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-86062348634274347212007-08-20T11:13:00.000-05:002007-08-20T11:13:00.000-05:00I remember growing sweet potato plants when we wer...I remember growing sweet potato plants when we were young.
