Habitat of the herb: the herb: Derived in cultivation, probably from Ipomoea trifida, this species is not known in a truly wild situation.
Other uses of Sweet Potato: The root is a source of starch.
Propagation of the herb: Pre-soak the seed for 12 hours in warm water, or scarify the seed, and sow in individual pots in a greenhouse in early spring. The seed usually germinates in 1 - 3 weeks at 22℃. Plants are extremely resentful of root disturbance, even when they are quite small, and should be potted up almost as soon as they germinate. Grow them on in the greenhouse for at least their first winter then plant them out into their permanent positions in late spring or early summer, after the last expected frosts. Seedlings can be very variable and are likely to be less productive than vegetatively produced plants. Stem cuttings obtained from terminal shoots. Remove the lower leaves and insert the cuttings to half their depth in individual pots.
