That is sweet Salix, thanks! I had Red Wine Velvet from SSE, but I had to move back to Ohio to help my dad, and my now husband couldnt find "something that looked like a sweet potato" in all my mess. He found them maybe mid winter when he was taking down the container garden. I tried but they werent in good enough shape to sprout.

the city gardeners use ornamental sweet potato in the street side planters and I really want to ask for them (leaves dry OK at the end of the season, ive heard some of the tubers are decent tasting) but theyre next to the street and all that pollution...?

I just love the Beauregard we get most often here, if I can successfully start my own slips this year I may try a SSE order again :-)
