MAKATEA TREASURE ISLAND
Outstanding, heart-shaped, chartreuse foliage and extraordinary light orange tubers with creamy flesh.
Now you can have your cake and eat it too with these spectacular sweet potatoes. A first for plant breeding, The Treasure Island series plants are new introductions that have won awards and the hearts of gardeners with their fabulous, edible foliage and gourmet-quality tuber production. Sweet potato vine has been a go-to trailing foliage staple in mixed plantings, hanging baskets and containers. The colorful leaves are an outstanding counterpoint to flowering plants, but Treasure Island offers the added bonus of delicious, healthy tuber harvest at the end of the season. Enjoy the beautiful foliage all summer long, and instead of just tossing the spent plants when the weather cools, you’ll have a harvest of delectable sweet potatoes.Â
Makatea plants ship in May. The plants are in 3 ½ inch containers. Available only within the contiguous US. Sorry, not available to CA.
