potato vines

Spud plant growth

Potato vines are the trailing or climbing stems of potato plants, which spread across the ground or climb supports as the tubers develop underground.

The term also refers to ornamental sweet potato vines, popular in container gardens and hanging baskets for their colorful foliage rather than edible roots: She added potato vines to the window boxes for trailing greenery.
