Any Q

In late summer, sweet potatoes often produce flowers that resemble those of morning glory, a close botanical cousin.


What does it mean when a sweet potato plant flowers?

Flowers on a potato plant indicate that its tubers (the edible part of the plant that grows underground) are starting to form. After you see flowers form on your potato plant, you know that the plant is doing well, and that it is getting closer to harvest time.

How long after flowering are sweet potatoes ready?

Sweet potato varieties are ready to harvest 95 to 120 days after planting in the garden. When the leaves turn slightly yellow they are usually ready to harvest. Because they have thin skins sweet potatoes are easily damaged during harvest so extra care should be taken.
