Tricolor Variety Collection

Our Tricolor Variety Collection includes orange, white, and purple sweet potato plants for a wonderful, colorful medley of sweet potatoes in your backyard garden. This is a great option for gardeners wanting a variety of textures and flavors from their sweet potato patch. Varieties will vary for each color, but each shipment will include tags to note the varieties in each box.

The Tricolor Variety Collection Includes:

Orange Sweet Potato Plants These are the most common, known for their creamy texture and sweet, slightly nutty flavor. Rich in beta-carotene, they are an excellent source of vitamin A, promoting eye health and immune function.

White Sweet Potato Plants These have a milder, less sweet taste and a drier, firmer texture compared to their orange counterparts. They provide a good amount of fiber, potassium, and vitamins B6 and C, making them a nutritious option for a balanced diet.

Purple Sweet Potato Plants These stand out not only for their striking color but also for their unique, earthy sweetness and creamy texture. They are packed with anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants that may help reduce inflammation and improve heart health.

Growing the Tricolor Variety Collection:

The sweet potato varieties in this collection will produce long trailing vines and should be given plenty of space to roam in your backyard garden. We recommend planting these varieties on a 4' row spacing so they have plenty of room to crawl. If growing conditions are ideal, these varieties can yield 1 lb or more of sweet potatoes per row foot of garden.

Sweet potato plants prefer warmer soils, so they should not be planted until the soil has sufficient warmed in spring or early summer. We suggest a 10-12" plant spacing along the row for best results. Consistent irrigation throughout the growth cycle will result in a more bountiful harvest and more #1 grade sweet potatoes.
