This is the sweet potato that makes northern gardeners cheer. While 'Beauregard' is the most popular variety grown across the South, its true magic is its fast-maturing nature. Developed at Louisiana State University, it's a reliable, widely-adapted producer, capable of delivering a heavy harvest of #1 grade sweet potatoes in as few as 90-100 days. This speed makes it the top choice for home gardeners with shorter growing seasons. It dependably produces large, elongated roots with beautiful red-copper skin and is notably resistant to cracking.

Beyond its performance, 'Beauregard' is a delight in the kitchen. Its deep orange flesh has a fine-grained, creamy consistency when cooked, with a slightly sweet flavor reminiscent of winter squash. It's an outstanding choice for baking whole or making into pies. In the garden, the plants grow as a lush, beautiful vine (a relative of the Morning Glory!). For best results in cooler climates, we highly recommend growing them on black plastic mulch to capture extra soil warmth and ensure a bountiful harvest.

SHIPPING: Sweet Potato Slips are not available for In-Store Pickup. Slips do not travel well, and as a result are only available for direct shipment from the farm to your home. They will not be available for in-store pickup, as any delay in transit will negatively effect their viability.

NOTE: Your sweet potatoes will arrive as bare-root "slips"—live sprouts ready to plant. Don't be alarmed if they appear wilted, dry, or pale from their travels; this is perfectly normal, and these slips are famously hardy. If you can't plant them immediately, you can store them for a few days by wrapping the root ends in a moist paper towel (keeping the leaves dry) and standing them upright in a glass at room temperature. If planting must be delayed a week or more, it's best to loosely plant the slips in a pot of moist soil and keep them indoors until you're ready.
