I planted all three ornamental sweet potato vines - tri-color, margarite
and blackie. I was surprised to read that the tri-color should be in
partial or full shade and it worked. I've got the tri-color in a
container in the shade and the pink color comes out very nicely. It's
growing well but certainly not as vigorous as the other two. I
appreciate hearing how to propagate and store them so I'll have lots
next year.

While we're speaking of the sweet potato vine, I have the variegated
one
with the pinkish tinge. It is growing on a west-facing porch in pots
with
pink geraniums. I've seen the other green and dark varieties grow like
weeds, but this one is sort of sulking. Is this one not as hardy as
the
other two? The sun seems to be bleaching out the coloration; is the
sun
the reason why it doesn't want to trail as much? >>
