The Ideal Setup: Morning Sun & Afternoon Shade

While sweet potato vines love the sun, the DFW summer sun from July through September can easily cause leaf scorch or severe wilting. Best Exposure: Place them where they get 6+ hours of intense morning and midday sun, followed by some dappled light or afternoon shade after 2:00 PM to shield them from peak temperatures.
