Isn't sweet potato in the same family?
Yes, all of the plants under discussion are in the same family, the
Convolvulaceae. Sweet potato is an ipomoea. A morning glory. Sweet potato
blossoms are big and showy sort of purpley magenta like some morning
glories. I
don't know how far north they grow.

I grow sweet potatoes here in WNC. Last year's giant was almost 9 pounds,
not large as sweet potatoes go, but a respectable one for the mountains.
