Has anyone tried growing the tubers from potted ornamental sweet potato vines? I'd like to save them for planting next spring.

Thanks

I save them every year and store them in a cool room in basement( paper bags with peatmoss) until April and then pot them up. Check on them a couple of times to make sure they aren't too dry. I ended up with alot of the tricolored ones this year.
I also overwinter geraniums in paper bags.
Happy Gardening!
Boop
