Plant Class: Half Hardy Perennial

Characteristics & growing conditions

Habitat: Clump forming, Compact

Plant out once the risk of frost has passed, choosing a warm, sunny position. Sweet potatoes thrive in warm conditions and can be grown in the ground or in large containers; a greenhouse or polytunnel is particularly beneficial in cooler areas. Keep plants regularly watered and fed throughout the growing season. Harvest the tubers in September and October, before the first frosts. After lifting, the tubers can be stored for several months in suitable conditions.
