Growing Sweet Potato/Kumara

I am also wanting to find New Zealand Kumera. The purple one..(they are really delicious). As you cannot, as far as I know buy the tubers here in Australia, would anyone know where I could buy the seeds?

There are no seeds to grow kumara. To get nz kumara one can buy the kumara but there are no seeds

If you cut the eye end off a kumera or sweet potato you can grow a new plant from this. Just as with regular potatoes.
