Aaaah, yeah! in a sense. The ornamental SPs are just hybridized to have more foliage or different leaf style. However a sweet potato is a sweet potato. I raise enough of the SPs for the table, to last all winter. I also start and raise some of the ornamentals too. There a few DGers that come to the Iowa RU ,that like for me to trade SPs to them. So in the spring I'm trying to get some to sprout and pulling the sprouts off and rooting them. so I have enough for trading.
The ( table) my word are bred for the storage roots, size color, texture and flavor.
I would think it would be concieveable to grow a sweet potato all year long indoors with proper lighting, and humidity. This a Blackie I was sprouting.
