3サツマイモ植物/スリップ - ムラサキ紫、和芋、黄身

Different and fun to grow. Taste great.

I have grown different varieties of potatoes for several years and decided I wanted to try this Japanese variety (I love the flavor). Unfortunately only a few farms seem to be selling these. Blindly with few reviews I went with this company. To my uter dissapointment I received three potatoes that looked like bottom of the barrel store bought ones, unprotected in just a shipping box. I could have picked up better at my local Japanese grocery market. They were not beginning to grow (every seeding potatoe I have purchased in the past have the eyes beginning to sprout) and looked unhealthy at best. They are also usually protected in a bag along with some soil. Not knowing this variety I still decided to give them a try and with great care and with excellent soil, I attempted to get them to begin growing (I actually tried two different ways to get them to start). As you can imagine I got nothing. No growth at all after 3 weeks. Just sickly dead potatoes. I guess I will be giving up on this variety until a farm I can trust starts selling them. Do not be like me. Skip this company.

I only bought 3 slips and planted them as soon as I received them. I just harvested them and had huge sweet potatoes and lots of them. Im still blown away at the number of sweet potatoes and their size. The largest is a heavy one, it is at least a foot long, probably more and about 5-6 inches in the largest part of it. I have quite a few similar and a couple almost the same size. I have a lot that are normal range sizes, so lots of sweet potatoes from 3 slips. I recommend this seller to purchase the slips and get ready for a great output.

Poor quality. Slips not very mature for planting. This is my second year purchasing from this company. Last year the same problem.

I planted them the same day the post office delivered them. I received 4 little plants (not 3). It took several days for the new leaves to start budding but that’s normal. I love eating this type of sweet potato so I hope I get a good harvest.
