Sweet Potato Plant ‘Tahiti’

Look forward to the visual impact of sweet potato Tahiti plants: they give you an attractive display of ivy-like foliage through the summer before you dig up the plants in autumn to reveal the nutritious sweet potatoes with deep purple flesh.
Productive as well as attractive, sweet potato Tahiti is a great home-grown crop to try in your allotment or even in big pots if you don’t have a plot of earth. Just fill your pot with rich compost and space your five young plants evenly around your pot. Water well and watch these pretty foliage plants thrive.
Sweet potatoes grow from semi-scrambling plants that look great growing in pots with edible summer bedding flowers like marigolds and nasturtiums.
