Best Place To Purchase Okinawa Sweet Potato Plants?

Question

I read your article on Okinawan sweet potatoes, and how to grow them. What I did not see is a link or information on where they can be purchased. Could you please help? Thank you so much.

Answer 1

We don't make vendor recommendations so I can't suggest a place to purchase them. Since they are often sold as live cuttings, I suggest trying to find a local source, such as a nearby plant farm, Farmers Market, or garden nursery. If your nearest nursery or garden center does not sell them, ask them where you might find them. Your local cooperative extension office also may suggest a source. You may have luck with reputable online seed catalogs, but I would not recommend buying from individuals who may be selling them online.
