Vossner,

Most of the Ipomoea make tubers, I look for them below the mainstem or should I say right below the spot where you first planted. If you can find one, dig it up, keep it cool and dry for the winter and start it in late Feb in a sunny window. I have done it with a left over sweet potato tuber from the holiday season. Last fall, when I was changing over one of the containers I work on, I found one that was 8 pounds, it was as big a my head (or is that ego?) and several smaller ones. If your ground stays wet in the winter, when it is cool, they tend to rot.
