Twin Oaks Beauregard Sweet Potato – Certified Organic

Grown By Twin Oaks Seed Farm – 90 Days – Ipomoea batatas

Beauregard is a very productive and early variety, suitable for both northern and southern growers. Produces good quality sweet orange tubers. Developed at Louisiana State University in 1987.

This strain of Beauregard was selected at Twin Oaks Community in Louisa, Virginia over two decades, largely by long-time garden manager Pam Dawling, for lack of splitting and cracking and for good yields.

It’s possible that some Georgia Jet tubers may have made their way into the population during this time as well.

This strain excels in fertile and nutrient-rich garden soils, but may tend to produce smaller tubers in unamended soils. For unamended or poorer soils the regular strain of Beauregard may be a better choice.

Important Notes About Sweet Potato Slip Shipping:

We ship sweet potato slips in May into the first week in June, separately from seeds. There is a $12.00 flat rate shipping and handling fee on all sweet potato orders. (If you are also purchasing seeds in the same order there is a separate $6.00 flat rate shipping charge).

Slips are shipped based on USDA hardiness zones, sorted by zip code. Shipments to USDA zones 8 and 9 go out in mid May; shipments to USDA zones 6 and 7 go out in mid to late May; shipments to USDA zones 4 and 5 go out in late May to early June.

All orders are shipped via USPS Priority Mail to shorten the time in transit. We ship on Monday morning of each week (Tuesday on the week of Memorial Day). Our slips are cut rather than pulled, in order to prevent potential disease transmission. If your slips arrive in poor condition due to USPS transit delays please contact us at info@commonwealthseeds.com. 

We produce slips here in Virginia, so keep in mind that if you are in Florida or the deep South you may want your slips earlier than we are able to provide them, and you may want to consider other options!
