The Sweet Potato (American potato) Evangeline is the sweetest, very tasty, and rich in beta-carotene and vitamins.
It produces tubers over 300 g, with fairly uniform size (2-4 kg of tubers per plant).
The leaves are green, occasionally variegated with purple. It has a pink-orange skin and orange flesh.
Its sweet flavor is ideal for mashed potatoes, roasting, gnocchi, soups, and even desserts.
The plant is very hardy, adaptable to various environmental conditions, and easy to grow.
The leaves are also edible and can be used in salads.
Harvesting takes place between September and November, before the frost.
It is recommended to keep the tubers in a ventilated and dark place for at least 2-3 weeks before using them to enjoy the best quality.
Growing Tips
Orto Mio guidelines for the species, to be adapted to the variety, local climate, and cultivation in soil or pots.
Exposure and Temperature
Sun; grows best at 20–25 °C and is sensitive to cold. Protect transplants if nights drop below 10 °C.
Soil and Transplanting
Fertile, cool, and well-draining soil, pH 5.5–7; raised beds in compact soils. Transplant in April–May, generally 40 × 80 cm apart.
Watering
Keep the soil moist without waterlogging; increase frequency in summer. The last watering should be done about two weeks before harvest.
Fertilization
Rich organic fertilization in advance; nutrition with adequate amounts of nitrogen and potassium.
Care, Harvesting, and Storage
