Ipomoea batatas 'Okinawa' - Okinawan Purple Sweet Potato

Okinawan Sweet Potatoes are known to be the reason why the old natives of Okinawa used to live for so long. TThe high concentration of purple Xanthocyans in this tuber have life-lengthening properties. This cultivar is quite popular in SE Asia to Hawaii. It forms tight clumps (it does not run!) and takes about 5-6 months to be gathered.

We ship sweet potatoes in different formats according to the season and state of growth. You might receive one potted plant, or one tuber, or three rooting cuttings wrapped in sphagnum.
