potato vine,solanum jasminoides grandiflora
There is a purple one called solanum crispum (chilean potato vine). I love mine but it needs to be staked to a trellis.
ok great do you know where i could buy this at? plmk and thxs
Common on the West Coast--I would recommend checking on-line nurseries in that region or going to their local forum to ask for a start. I have one that I brought from the the San Fran area--its barely surviving, at the moment, or I would offer cuttings. Also, try the Big Box stores--they don't realize that its better suited for other areas, and I know I've seen it at some here in Raleigh a few times....
yotedog
can you keep an eye for me one? i would love to have it thxs so much
Purple or white? I don't remember where I got mine to be honest. I may have started them from seed as I have 2 and don't remember trading for them. May have gotten em at a roundup without an ID tag. Had to wait for the blooms to ID.
want both lol but if you can find either that would be fine too
thxs so much
are you looking for anyting ? plmk and thxs again
Can do!! If I see one, I'll let you know--
Edited to say that the white one I have (which is not hardy here, which is why mine is half-surviving) is Solanum jasminoides. Is that what you are looking for? There is another white form with a similar common name which has much larger flowers than S. jasminoides...
Edited again to say here's a source... http://site.mawebcenters.com/accentsforhomeandgarden_1/catalog_i7476211.html?catId=292146

they sell the purple and lime green ones at home depot and another nursery here.. I saw some just last friday... I have a tiny purple one that managed to survive the winter in my potting shed... guess it got a little water occasionally.. the other 3 I had in there are toast.
purple and lime? do you have apic of them? plmk and thxs any idea how much they are and what size pot? plmk and thxs
I believe she is referring to sweet potato vine. Ipomoea batatas
oops, you are right.. they are sweet potato vines.. sorry.. I am a newbie to any vines and did not realize there was a difference. ... going back to my corner now.

M. We have the white at our big box stores. I am still waiting to find a decent specimens of that MG you want ( and in 1 gallon pots not the 5 I ahve been seeing). I can look for this too although they typically sell it in early spring I think..
