One of the most versatile vegetables, sweet potatoes have become exceedingly popular over the last decade thanks to their delicious flavour, ease of cooking and all the new and unique ways to create a storm in the kitchen – with a healthier, vitamin rich twist on a normal white potato and with its bright orange flesh and red skin ‘Erato Orange’ brings an exotic flavour to your cooking! With extra dietary fibre in a sweet potato compared to a normal potato, many of us are adding more and more sweet potato into our diets, and it’s so easy to do. From typical mashing, boiling or baking, to chips, soups, curries and stews, there are so many wonderful dishes that are so easy to make – so why not grow your own? Grow in hot conditions, preferably in a greenhouse or conservatory. Perfect for growing in pots, they’ll grow to a maximum of approx. 30cm tall and with regular watering, the vigorous plants will develop large tubers in the summer and will be ready for harvest from September through to October. The tubers can even be harvested in the autumn and stored until you want to use them. Supplied as 6 plug plants, ready to plant.
