Description

Demand has increased year on year over the past 3 years as gardeners find that growing a successful crop of sweet potatoes is rewarding and satisfying. Although considered a tropical plant it performs well in our climate, outdoors ideally through black plastic or in large containers under glass.

T65 has reddish skin colour but a creamy white flesh. Still the most reliable and vigorous variety producing good sized tubers.

Culinary uses similar as potatoes - boiled, steamed, baked, fried, mashed or batter fried as 'tempura'. The leaves and tips of young shoots can be cooked as a spinach substitute.

Important - We supply 'slips' (cuttings) which are despatched by First Class post in our special boxes and must be opened immediately. 'Slips' will look withered but just place in a glass of water overnight and then pot up individually the length of the stem to the base of the leaves (use our Sweet Potato Potting On Kit) for up to 3 weeks to establish prior to planting out.

Full cultural details sent with every order.
