The Centennial sweet potato, bred in Louisiana, is known for its smooth, orange skin and high yields. It’s an excellent choice for home gardeners and small-scale farmers alike. This variety is also prized for its tolerance to fusarium wilt and internal cork, ensuring a healthy and productive crop. Expect a harvest in about 90+ days from these vine-type plants. The flesh is a uniform orange, darker than the Beauregard variety.

Our Sweet Potato Slips exhibit good resistance to common diseases such as soil rot, root knot, fusarium wilt, bacterial root rot, and Rhizopus soft rot. Before planting, it’s crucial to rehydrate the slips. Upon arrival, unwrap them and place them in a cup of water for a couple of days. If minimal root growth is observed, extend the water soaking period to one week, changing the water daily and adding a touch of hydrogen peroxide or rooting hormone to stimulate root development. Ensure adequate airflow by gently moving the slips in the water. Remove any signs of rot promptly and place the cup in a sunny window for several hours of sunlight exposure.

Once the slips have recovered and show signs of new growth, they’re ready for planting in your garden. Choose a location with loose, well-drained soil, and plant the slips as deep as the first set of leaves. Water thoroughly after planting. If the slips haven’t been hardened off, provide shade for the first week to help them adjust to the garden’s sunlight intensity. Consistent watering is essential to prevent the soil from drying out.
