Sweet Potato Seeds Non-GMO Sweet Vegetable Seeds Home Garden Plant Seed for Planting

About this item SUN: Be sure to plant your sweet potatoes in full sun to part shade. They generally prefer full sun but appreciate some afternoon shade in hot, dry regions. SOIL: Sweet potatoes prefer soil that is well-drained but high in rich matter. Sandier soil is preferable to dense, clay soil. WATER: Once established, sweet potatoes will tolerate growing in dry soil. It's best to keep it evenly moist with 1 inch of water given once a week. Don't water your sweet potatoes during the final three to four weeks prior to harvest to prevent the mature tubers from splitting. Keep the plants moist, especially during dry spells. Expected Blooming Period: Four months after planting to harvest. PLANTING SUGGESTIONS: Sweet potatoes are not heavy feeders, but it's important to give them balanced nutrition, typically with proper soil preparation. Overfeeding tends to promote growth of foliage rather than tubers. The best approach is to add compost to the beds before planting the sweet potatoes. Alternatively, you can apply an liquid fertilizer to the soil prior to planting.
