‘Evangeline’ Sweet Potato Plant
- Reliable and heavy-cropping, ‘Evangeline’ is a sweet potato variety with real vibrancy, boasting 40% more beta-carotene than the popular ‘Beauregard’ variety, resulting in intensely orange flesh.
- Perfect for tastier fries, roasts, mash and wedges, this cultivar features sucrose as its main sugar, as opposed to maltose, which is more commonly found in sweet potatoes. This provides an even sweeter taste than most varieties.
- Grow your sweet potato plants in a greenhouse, polytunnel or a sunny, sheltered spot outdoors, and they’ll be ready to harvest from late August to October.
- The tubers are large and robust, and will keep for months after harvesting. To ensure your sweet potatoes stay fresher for longer, keep them in a cool, dark and dry place.
- ‘Evangeline’ sports great resistance to various common sweet potato problems, including root-knot nematodes, Fusarium wilt and Rhizopus soft rot.
