Heirloom Sweet Potato Pack $20

Collection of four potted sweet potato slips that have been grown for generations:

*Centennial - Centennial is a popular, high-yielding heirloom sweet potato variety developed in the 1960s, known for its copper-orange skin, bright orange flesh, and reliable 90-110 day maturity. They offer a moist, tender, and moderately sweet taste, making them excellent for baking ("baby bakers") or frying, with a slightly drier texture than other orange types.

*Nancy Hall-An 1896 letter claims the Nancy Hall variety of sweet potato originated from the accidental crossing of potato and flower seeds by a miss Nancy Hall. Regardless of who first discovered the tan-colored, moist, yellow-fleshed tuber, the Nancy Hall was once so loved in the American Southeast a parade was once held in its honor. The taste was so adored that a 1919 farmers’ bulletin proclaimed it one of the most popular varieties of the day.

*Bush Porto Rico-The Bush Porto Rico (or Bunch Porto Rico) is a popular, compact heirloom sweet potato variety prized for its "vineless" or bush-type growth habit, making it ideal for containers, raised beds, and small gardens. It is known for its copper-colored skin and sweet, orange to light-orange flesh with a rich, old-fashioned flavor.

*Georgia Jets- The Georgia Jet sweet potato is a high-yielding heirloom known for its rapid maturity (90-100 days). It features distinctive deep red skin with moist, bright orange flesh and a rich, sugary, aromatic flavor. These tubers tend to be more round than long, growing on long, vigorous trailing vines
