Sweet potatoes bloom in summer and autumn.
Many people know that sweet potatoes are edible, and their nutritional elements are very beneficial to people's health. Does the sweet potato blossom? In fact, the sweet potato is also a flowering plant, which is a convolvulaceae plant like the morning glory, and its flowering period is mainly in summer and autumn every year.
The flowers of sweet potato and morning glory are also very similar, showing a trumpet shape, and their flower size is about 3 ~ 5 cm, and their petals are mostly purple, but the top edge of their petals is really white and looks very beautiful. However, its flowering is not good for the growth of sweet potato, but will affect its healthy growth.
There are two main reasons for the flowering of sweet potatoes, one is because of their different varieties. For sweet potato varieties that are easy to blossom, such as Huahuanhong, it is very easy to blossom because of its genetic factors, but this kind of sweet potato usually only blooms without fruit.
Another reason for flowering is the influence of its growth environment. If the sweet potato is placed in the sun for a long time and exposed to light for too long, the flower buds of the sweet potato will differentiate and flowers will bloom. Or there is a big temperature difference between morning and evening, and it may also make sweet potatoes bloom.
