Missy, my girlfriend has one that she keeps under her carport, where she can keep a watchful eye one it. I had one that I kept in a pot on my concrete driveway, but I gave away all of my potatoes and my vine froze one unusually cold winter and did not return. Maybe you can try something like that, since the leaves are a little unusual and pretty. When I had mine, people always asked what the plant was. It's a great conversation piece. Just an idea.
