• Hardy variety suitable for various climates
• Beautiful rose petal skin and delicious orange flesh
• Excellent for baking and other culinary uses
• Resistant to several common sweet potato diseases

Important Note: It is normal for the slips to appear dry and wilted upon arrival due to shipping. The condition of the leaves is not critical as long as the stem and roots are healthy. Unwrap the slips upon arrival and place them in a cup of water to rehydrate for a couple of days. For slips with little root growth, leave them in water for at least one week until new roots form. Change the water daily and add a little hydrogen peroxide and/or rooting hormone to aid the rooting process. Ensure the slips receive sunlight to encourage recovery and new leaf growth.

Once the slips have recovered, plant them in your garden in loose, well-drained soil, deep enough to cover the first set of leaves. Water them well after planting and provide shade for about a week to help them establish, especially if they have weak root systems. Keep them well-watered, ensuring they don’t dry out in the sun. Enjoy growing your own delicious Georgia Jet sweet potatoes!
