Just to let you know my order of 5 plants arrived safely. I am really pleased with them as I have always wanted the more unusual plants instead of trying to grow from seeds but unfortunately I have not been able to source them within my local area. The service you provided was excellent, the packaging was sturdy, the delivery charge was very fair and they were delivered very quickly. I also appreciated that the plants had been watered well in preparation for their journey. Thank-you so much. Kind regards

This delicious orange variety of sweet potato is well worth growing, but given the UK climate is always best grown under protection or in a particularly sheltered and sunny spot. High yielding variety that stores well, the sweet potatoes tend to be long and of a good size with a reddish purple skin and deep orange flesh and full of Vitamin C.
Orginates from the Louisiana State University in 1987 by Larry Rolston. Apparently it saved the Louisiana sweet potato market when it was developed because of it' high yield and disease resistance, making it a very popular variety!
In order to get the maximum yield it is suggested to plant them into the open ground, but we have successfully grown these here at the nursery in large tubs so that they can be kept indoors and in a warmer environment.
Delicious boiled, mashed, roasted or as chips.
- Grow under protection (greenhouse, poly tunnel or similar) for best results.
- Like a sunny position.
- Need well drained soil.
- Plant 12 - 18" (30 cm - 45 cm) apart.
- Take 90-120 days to harvest (when leaves start to turn yellow or just before first outdoor frosts).
