Description

Supplied as three prepared cuttings. The cuttings are easy to propagate, simply stick them in your preferred medium (i.e. sharp sand) and keep moist. Some people strike sweet potatoes in a jar of water.

This sweet potato variety very high in anthocyanin. These pigments have been linked to fighting cancer, aging, hypertension and neurological diseases, inflammation, diabetes and bacterial infections.  Molokai purple is as easy to grow as any sweet potato and makes a nice groundcover. The flesh is drier than in the usual shop bought sweet potatoes.

Grow as an annual in cooler areas.
