Ipomoea ‘Covington’ 25/Pk

Covington sweet potato is a widely grown variety known for its rose-colored skin and deep orange flesh with a consistently sweet, smooth flavor. It produces uniform, high-quality roots that bake up moist and tender, making it ideal for roasting, mashing, and classic sweet potato dishes. Valued by both growers and retailers, it offers strong yields, excellent disease resistance, and reliable storage performance.

• Season of Interest: Planted after last frost (late May–June in Zone 6b); harvest in late summer to fall, typically 100–110 days after planting (August–October). 
• Light Requirements: Full Sun (6–6+ hours)
• Soil Requirements: Well-drained, loose, sandy loam is ideal; avoid heavy clay (causes misshapen roots); pH 5.8–6.2 (slightly acidic); low to moderate fertility — avoid excess nitrogen to encourage root development over foliage
