Can you plant these in large containers?
BEST ANSWER: Absolutely! If you like, you can "plant" a tall trellis to one side of the container and let the vine wind up around it. It's really beautiful.

can the sweet potatoes be sold in smaller lots? I can't afford the 25-item package. Thank you
How far do you plant these apart?
Is this the kind that lays down roots along the vines? What kind would that be?
are these slips? or whole potatoes?
BEST ANSWER: More like slips or a bear root plant. If you can't plant them right away put them in a vase of water

Can I order less than 25?
BEST ANSWER: We appreciate you reaching out to us. Unfortunately these are packaged and shipped directly from our growers and they do not separate the packages so this would have to come as a package of 25.

Plants grew well and produced large sweet potatoes
We selected the Beauregard Sweet Potatoes for our our community garden based on our online searches, and we were very pleased. When received, the plants appeared spindly and yellowed, but they grew -- and GREW! The vines completely blanketed their beds, and were virtually maintenance free. When we dug them in Fall, we were pleased with the number and size of the harvest! Definitely recommend.
