Purple Majesty Sweet Potato Features:
Purple Majesty sweet potatoes have a striking purple exterior and interior. These sweet potatoes have a high nutritional value and are rich in anthocyanin and antioxidants. The color is retained after cooking, making them a great option for a roasted vegetable medley. Many of our customers like to roast these with Murasaki and orange sweet potatoes for a colorful assortment.
Purple Majesty sweet potatoes have a tapered end much like a standard, orange sweet potato variety. Developed by NC State University, Purple Majesty has proven itself as one of the most productive purple sweet potato varieties on the market. Unlike other purple sweet potato varieties, Purple Majesty provides consistent yields from one plant to the next.
Purple Majesty Sweet Potato Growing Tips:
Purple Majesty sweet potatoes have a 100 day maturity date which makes them a great option for all growing regions. Growers in the northern states love this variety because it has a shorter maturity date, allowing them to get a quality harvest without a long summer.
Our Purple Majesty 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 Purple Majesty sweet potato plants.

The sweet potatoes are inspected again once in the storage house and checked a fourth time when placed in the beds for plant production.
