{"product_id":"beauregard-sweet-potato-slips","title":"Beauregard Sweet Potato Slips","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the sweet potato that makes northern gardeners cheer. While 'Beauregard' is the most popular variety grown across the South, its true magic is its fast-maturing nature. Developed at Louisiana State University, it's a reliable, widely-adapted producer, capable of delivering a heavy harvest of #1 grade sweet potatoes in as few as 90-100 days. This speed makes it the top choice for home gardeners with shorter growing seasons. It dependably produces large, elongated roots with beautiful red-copper skin and is notably resistant to cracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond its performance, 'Beauregard' is a delight in the kitchen. Its deep orange flesh has a fine-grained, creamy consistency when cooked, with a slightly sweet flavor reminiscent of winter squash. It's an outstanding choice for baking whole or making into pies. In the garden, the plants grow as a lush, beautiful vine (a relative of the Morning Glory!). For best results in cooler climates, we highly recommend growing them on black plastic mulch to capture extra soil warmth and ensure a bountiful harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003eSHIPPING: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSweet Potato Slips are not available for In-Store Pickup\u003c\/strong\u003e.

They will not be available for in-store pickup, as any delay in transit will negatively effect their viability.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003eNOTE:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eYour sweet potatoes will arrive as bare-root \"slips\"—live sprouts ready to plant. Don't be alarmed if they appear wilted, dry, or pale from their travels; this is perfectly normal, and these slips are famously hardy. If you can't plant them immediately, you can store them for a few days by wrapping the root ends in a moist paper towel (keeping the leaves dry) and standing them upright in a glass at room temperature. If planting must be delayed a week or more, it's best to loosely plant the slips in a pot of moist soil and keep them indoors until you're ready.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003eDOES NOT SHIP TO Alaska, Hawaii, or Canada\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"10 Slips","offer_id":46184254210206,"sku":"sweet_potato_beauregard_10","price":16.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0072\/0909\/1117\/files\/Beauregard_2.png?v=1764104797","url":"https:\/\/hudsonvalleyseed.mom\/products\/beauregard-sweet-potato-slips","provider":"Hudson Valley Seed Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
