That is amazing. I hope it continues to set buds. Moving it outside may be a drastic change of light. This is the first time for me seeing one bloom. Thanks for posting this. Frank

I have only got blooms from these when they are REALLY root bound in a container.

Very pretty blooms. The 1st yr I bought a Marguerite sweet potato, it
had buds. The blooms were pink and maybe a cream border. Was so
long ago, can't remember exactly
It was a huge vine in a hanging basket.

Really nice blooms there.

When we moved here there were a couple of these growing in half barrels with flowers and did seed, but they froze this past winter. I did find some at HD with flowers on them already.. I never found any with flowers in CA.. in fact, I had never even seen one bloom. Here, they have them already blooming in pots. I also got the chartruse (sp)... do they bloom also?

Nice to see the pink flower.
