O'Henry Sweet Potato Features:
O'Henry is white sweet potato variety that's a stabilized mutation of the Beauregard sweet potato variety. This variety was named after a Mississippi farmer, Henry Bailey, who was known for growing these. O'Henry sweet potato plants produce elongated sweet potatoes with pointed ends. The sweet potatoes have a tan-colored skin and a white flesh.
O'Henry sweet potatoes have a lighter, more delicate flavor than their orange sweet potato counterparts. This is a great variety for making fries or chips. Many of our customers will mix this variety with Irish potatoes for a more nutritious mashed potato preparation.
Our O'Henry sweet potato plants will consistently produce mature sweet potatoes in 90 days. They can, however, be left in the ground closer to 100 days in northern states. It grows very similar to Beauregard and produces beautiful clusters of delicious sweet potatoes under the main plant vine.
Sweet potato plants should not be planted in cool soils. Wait until your backyard garden soils have warmed in late spring or early summer. Sweet potato plants should be given 10-12" of space along the row and the ideal row spacing is 4'. Consistent watering without over saturation will provide the highest yields.
Please note that all slips may arrive looking dry and wilted after their long travels. This is normal. The condition of the leaves do not matter in the least as long as the stem and roots are healthy.
