1 Live Plant Red Garnet Sweet Potato Slip Ipomoea batatas

Red Garnet sweet potato is a distinct variety known for its striking reddish-purple skin and vibrant deep orange flesh, offering a beautiful contrast when sliced or baked. This variety is prized by home gardeners for its reliable performance and the rich, sweet flavor that develops in the roots during the growing season.

In the garden, Red Garnet sweet potatoes are typically grown as a warm-season crop, thriving in loose, well-drained soil and full sun.

The tubers are excellent for roasting, mashing, or making homemade fries, and they store well after curing. This listing is for one live slip, ready to be planted outdoors once the soil has warmed.
