Collection: Sweet Potato Slips for Sale

Grow sweet potatoes from slips: young vine starts produced from sweet potato storage roots. Sweet potatoes (Ipomoea batatas) are warm-season plants and are botanically different from seed potatoes (Solanum tuberosum). Plant slips only after frost danger has passed and the soil is thoroughly warm.

Planting Sweet Potato Slips

• Choose a full-sun site with loose, well-drained soil.
• Wait for warm soil and settled weather before planting.
• Space slips according to the variety and product instructions.
• Water consistently during establishment without saturating the soil.
• Allow enough frost-free growing time for roots to size before harvest.

Varieties differ in skin color, flesh color, vine vigor, maturity, and culinary texture. Review each product page for current package quantity, shipping method, regional restrictions, and variety-specific care. Sweet potato slips can be sensitive to cold during transit and after planting.
