Have your vine and eat it too! Classic trailing vines with attractive leaves are perfect as a finishing touch for mixed containers. Very dark, almost black, finger-shaped leaves are edible, and may be eaten like spinach. The tubers are bright orange and also considered a superfood, being rich in beta carotene. Harvest in fall after the leaves turn yellow and wither; cure in a warm location with high humidity for 6-10 days before storing in a cool, dark, dry location. aka Ipomoea batatas ‘Treasure Island Manihi’
