2 Set Japanese Purple Sweet Potato (1 LB)Excellent yields and flavor. Stores well.

We got these last year and used them as starts for a crop of purple sweet potatoes. Love them. We enjoyed using them for sweet potato fries.

Am delighted with how fast these they grow and make slips rapidly. I’m intrigued by the color. Hope my family will accept purple in their potatoes this year. May not be as sweet as beauregards, but there is always brown sugar!!

These are not as pictured. These are grocery quality tubers and not slips as the ad leads you to believe. Do not order.

Update 10/20/23 From July 20, 2023 4 months birthday update. Today I added 3 new pictures. Keep in mind it around 2pm in Florida and the sun is out in full force. I have not water them today I’ll wait until evening to water once week if so. You can see in the picture how they are over growing to my niegbor’s side of the fence. I’ll be cutting those slips on fence and putting them in water to get bigger roots before planting them in spring. Update: it’s been around 2 months and you can see all the slip I have. What I do is that as the slip grow from the sides of the cuts I planted and are tall enough I carefully lay them down without breaking them from the cut planted and put soil on top of each steam. I make sure leaf are showing and not buried. Then water again every other day well. I live in florida but you can start them inside as long as you put them where they get sunlight and is warm. Then transplant outside in spring if you live in cold area. Make sure you have good soil and a little sandy and does not get hard so your sweet potatoes have room to expand. I order 2- one pound. I got 3 heathy purple sweet potatoes. I guess altogether they weigh 2 pounds. I cut them in half and planted them in the grown with the cut side face up and being level with ground. I water every other day for one week and every 4 day after. It’s been like 3 weeks and my sweet potatoes slip are all around my 6 cuts. This is the way my mom teach me and it works . I’m so happy I will have a lot of slips in a few months. I’m really happy with my purchase.

Always good stuff

The three stars are for excellent condition they were in. However, I bought these to start slips with. Three weeks after placing in a box with soil, not one eye has produced a start of a slip. The description does not indicate these were organic, so I am thinking they may have been treated to delay sprouting. Unless they sprout soon, before rotting away, this will be considered a total waste of money.

The potatoes are very purple and quite large and long. I plan to eat one and use the others to plant in my garden and grow more. They arrived in a slightly smooshed-in cardboard box that was still intact and no damage to the potatoes, which looked and felt very firm and fresh. I will be willing to write an additional review after my potato bake meal and and after planting/growing...

The potatoes take a very long time to sprout. That's the only thing you need to know. Rather than cutting them up into pieces and planting the pieces, I planted them halfway up the side in a plastic tote and kept them moist. They have given me over 50 sweet potato plants per potato. If you are patient all you would need is two potatoes to do your garden in a season, maybe four. I will definitely buy more of these. They're fantastic to grow, very satisfying
