Bayou Belle Sweet Potato Growing Tips:
Bayou Belle sweet potatoes have a 90-100 day maturity date which makes them a great option for all growing regions. Growers in the northern states will love this variety because it has a shorter maturity date, allowing them to get a quality harvest without a long summer.
Our Bayou Belle sweet potato plants should be planted once soil temperatures warm significantly in the late spring and early summer months. Planting in cool soils will delay maturity. We recommend a 12" in-row plant spacing and a 4' row spacing for our Bayou Belle sweet potato plants.
