Beauregard Sweet Potato
- Vine type: semi-running
- Matures: 95 days
Developed at Louisiana State University in 1987, this variety may be the world's most popular sweet potato. It is favored for high yields of uniform, reddish-purple potatoes with tasty, deep-orange flesh that keeps well in storage. It seems to have fewer problems with white grubs than some varieties and also resists cracking. Folks in Louisiana are proud of thier sweet potatoes and after tasting this one, you'll know why. Make sure that plants get plenty of sun to develop the maximum flavor and sweetness. Space transplants 12 inches apart in rows 36 inches apart.
Resistant to fusarium wilt and soil rot, but not resistant to nematodes.
Some Bonnie Plants varieties may not be available at your local stores, as we select and sell varieties best suited to the growing conditions in each region.

I was told I could not grow sweet potatoes in NE Wisconsin, so I decided to try anyway. I planted late so we did not have a large yield, but the ones I did dig up were very large and so sweet. We just ate the last one this past week, March 18. I will definitely plant earlier this year. I can't wait. (Posted on 3/20/12)Taste Yield
