Growing Tips from Proven Winners. In fall before first frost, dig, dry and store tubers in dry medium (vermiculite or peat) in a cool dry corner of the basement. When tubers sprout in spring, cut them into sections (at least one eye per section and plant the sections outdoors after last frost date. Tubers can also be sunk 1/2 way into a large-mouthed glass jar of water in early spring to generate sprouts that can be removed and planted. Container plants and or rooted cuttings taken in late summer may be overwintered indoors in bright sunny locations.
Look! I actually got flowers on the sweet potato vine!
