Description
The 'Northern Star' sweet potato is an exciting variety for your garden that takes about 17 weeks to mature. Since it isn't cold-hardy, it benefits from a sheltered spot during the warm season. With the right care, you can look forward to your own harvest once the growing season is over.
Growing tips
Do not plant 'Northern Star' outdoors until there is absolutely no risk of frost, as this variety is not cold-hardy. When planting, space the plants about 30 cm apart so they have room to spread out. Plan on about 17 weeks from planting until harvest.
