  • Description / Vardaman Sweet Potato Slips

    Days to Maturity: 95 from direct sow.

    Developed by the USDA especially for use in smaller gardens and limited-space plantings, Vardaman is a "bunch" or "bush" variety instead of the traditional trailing vine. The slips offer big yields of superior eating-quality potatoes with golden-yellow skin and deep orange flesh.

    Easy to grow and nutritious, sweet potatoes also store well. Set these slips 12 to 15 inches apart in 3-foot rows in a sunny, well-drained spot. After harvest, cure the potatoes in a warm (85 degrees F is preferable) location for 2 weeks, then store at 60 degrees F for 6 to 8 weeks.

    Bare Root Sweet Potato Definition:
    Also known as slips.

    Genetically identical to the parent potato.
    A faster way to grow potatoes vs seed.

    NOTE: Sweet potato slips are shipped separately from seed orders, at proper planting time for your area.
