A word of advice: never plant Sweet Potato vines in your window boxes. They take over and kill everything else.
Enjoyed the project?

Brenda Swindell on Sep 01, 2014I learned the hard way this summer. I put swv in two of my containers and they completely took over. I had to cut them back in July

Sandy Burrell on Oct 27, 2014@Luis Lol..I wish it worked with the kids too! Mine are all too big now...but actually, it's good for the plants to cut them back, it makes them bushier and nicer shaped. And it saves the lives of the other plants in the box with them. Plus you can root the cuttings in a glass of water and use them somewhere else in your landscape. Maybe you can try it next year...
