Sonni, Ipomoeas are members of the sweet potato family - ornamental ones.I am in zone 6, and have always grown them as annuals. Sometimes they actually form a tuber which can be stored over the winter and replanted, but I just had to dig the neighbor's two up because she had some construction work done, and neither had tubers yet.

They are, however, very easy to start from cuttings, which is how I plan to hang on to my three. I have the black form, the chartreuse and a pink, green and white variety - all lovely! <img src="http://www.suite101.com/userfiles/79/rhubarb.gif" alt="rheum" align=left>
