Doccat, They are ornamental sweet potatoes which are grown mostly for the attractive leafs. Although I understand you can eat them but they don't produce a lot of potatoes. These came from my Blackies and I am waiting to see what color I will get from them. The first year that I tried this I grew Margaritas (lime green) and they grew true to the original plant. This is the first year that my Blackie tubers overwintered and I am waiting to see if they grow true. The leaf shape is there and some of the dark coloring is also there guess we will see if they continue to darken as they mature. I will be more than glad to share plants come spring. Are you coming to Critters seed swap on the 23rd I am planing to bring some of my tubers and starters to the swap?
