Sweet Potato – Vineland Early Orange

Easy to grow from our potted plants

This tends to be a high yielding variety, and the sweet potatoes look exactly as you’d expect with bright orange flesh and thick red skin. Sweet potatoes will grow best in a greenhouse or polytunnel and will produce many tubers, but if you have a real suntrap of a garden, you could happily plant them outside in well draining soil. For container growing, choose nice deep pots, at least 50cm deep.

Number of plants: 1 plant – (1 litre biodegradable pot)

Variety: Vineland Early Orange

In the kitchen: A great addition to curries and stews. Sweet potato can be roasted to bring out the sweet caramelised flavour or mashed for a delicious alternative to mash potato.
