Vardaman Sweet Potato Slips

golden skin, bright orange flesh Ipomoea batatas (100–110 days) A rare bush variety, this sweet potato is a good choice for smaller spaces like raised beds and containers. Very ornamental, with purple leaves that turn green as they mature. Firm flesh holds up to roasting and frying, and also means they keep longer in storage.

This item will drop-ship via priority mail directly from our supplier according to your region (please see below). If you would like to request a different shipping week than the one recommended for your region, you can do that at checkout (within reason—slips cannot be safely shipped when the weather is too cold).

When Your Sweet Potato Slips Arrive

If you can’t plant right away, put slips in a vase of water in a warm sunny location. Slips that arrive with few leaves or roots are still likely to perform well; if the slips arrive slimy and rotten, please email us with pictures.
