Sweet potato vines are often used to spill out of pots of flowers, but now one company has created a sweet potato vine that doesn't just spill, it climbs.
Ball FloraPlant has created the first self-climbing sweet potato plant, one of the top 2018 plant entries that will be at your local garden store soon.
