The Seed Exchange

Yellow Sweet Potatoes

I have a friend that is looking for seeds for long, slender, yellow sweet potatoes. His grandfather grew them in Casey, Kentucky, when he was a child and he hasn't seen them since.

Any help out there? I told him I was sure there would be someone here that could help.

Hi Charla Gardener,
The best place to see a good sized list of unusual/heirloom sweet potatoes and purchase plants is Sand Hill Preservation. The prices are also very good. I buy from them every year.

Charla,

You might also try asking at the Heirloom plant Forum linked below.

And another place, might be the Ohio Vally Forum for someone who grew then in the KY-IN area years ago.

Good Luck. I hope you can find them for him.
