  • Sweet Potato Plant Erato Deep Orange is a productive and attractive variety, grown for its delicious, richly coloured tubers and vigorous trailing growth. This variety produces smooth, deep orange-fleshed sweet potatoes with a naturally sweet, flavourful taste, perfect for roasting, mashing, baking or adding to hearty dishes. The lush foliage also makes it an appealing plant for containers and garden beds alike.

  • Well suited to growing in the UK during the warmer months, Erato Deep Orange performs best in pots, grow bags, raised beds or sheltered garden borders. With the right conditions, it rewards growers with a satisfying harvest and a versatile crop that stores well once lifted.

    • Light Required Full sun in a warm, sheltered position

    Watering Water regularly during growth, keeping soil evenly moist but not waterlogged.

    Best Growing Conditions Plant in a warm, sunny and sheltered position once all risk of frost has passed. Grow in fertile, free-draining compost or soil and water regularly, keeping the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Sweet potatoes benefit from warmth, so growing in containers allows them to be moved to the sunniest spot. Harvest in late summer to early autumn once foliage begins to die back
