Now's the time to plant for late summer - autumn harvesting. Purple flesh Kumara (Sweet potato) plants.

“The King of Sweet potatoes” A rare and sought-after variety, one taste and this becomes your favourite. Purple sweet potatoes have a rich, almost winey flavour and a creamy texture. They are denser and drier than regular sweet potatoes, which is why moist cooking methods and longer times are recommended. Easy to grow ground cover which keeps the soil cool too. Harvest throughout the year. Its tropical origins mean that most rapid growth occurs in summer.

This is a perennial vegetable. Leaves and young shoots are used in stir-fries. Available in small pots for immediate transplanting.
