Patates douces de Covington
Find it on Pg.98 of our 2026 Catalogue
Une variété précoce améliorée, idéale pour les courtes saisons de culture du nord, à la chair orange vif et à la peau rose foncé. Sa chair douce et onctueuse est parfaite rôtie ou en purée. Cultivées dans notre jardin et expédiées sous forme de boutures racinées, ces patates douces sont faciles à repiquer au printemps. Leur port est similaire à celui du liseron, avec des fleurs en forme de trompette et une tige rampante pouvant s'étendre jusqu'à 1,20 m à partir de la tige principale. Cependant, contrairement aux pommes de terre, elles ne grimpent pas, mais développent des bourgeons adventifs (secondaires) pour favoriser le développement des racines et des tubercules. Elles s'épanouissent aussi bien en plates-bandes surélevées qu'en pots et en jardins en pente.

Order was for 5 plants; 5 plants grew. We have not harvested any yet
Unfortunately we had extremely a lot of rain and they didn’t get to a good start. They are trying now but I don’t think they will recover.
The shoots came I very good condition a bit later than expected. They are doing great in my greenhouse.
Unfortunately, I had to plant the sweet potato slips when we were having a lot of rain and cool temperatures. They did not survive.
YUM!
Followed instructions to a tee and nothing is coming. Don't think these are great for my zone
We’re sorry to hear your sweet potato slips did not perform as expected. Sweet potatoes are a warm-season crop and can be challenging to grow successfully in areas such as Alberta, where spring temperatures and soil can remain cool and the growing season is relatively short.
Sweet potato slips need consistently warm soil and warm growing conditions to establish well. Cool soil, cold nights, or a late spring can cause slips to struggle or fail to establish, even when planted at the recommended time. Using a sunny, sheltered location or raised bed can help warm the soil and provide better growing conditions.
We understand how disappointing it is when your slips don’t take, and we appreciate you sharing your experience with us.
They are growing beautifully!!
Have ordered these 3 years in a row. Came in great shape the first two years, but the mail disruption took a toll on them this year. Have had good success the first two years but still tinkering with placement in the garden to really get the size.
The slips I received were very sad looking and I should have resuscitated them before trying to plant them. I have nothing. I will not buy again .
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're very sorry to hear that your sweet potato slips did not establish successfully.
Sweet potato slips are delicate live plants and can sometimes look wilted or limp after spending several days in transit. In most cases, this is temporary, and placing them in water for several hours before planting allows them to rehydrate and recover before they go into the garden.
We're sorry that this wasn't your experience, and we understand how disappointing it is when a crop doesn't get off to a good start. We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us continue to improve both our products and the information we provide to our customers.
Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we wish you all the best with your future gardening.
They arrived dead. We tried to plant them anyway 😞 but no luck.

Sorry, I have to give a poor rating here. I waited a week after the advised time to plant my sweet potatoes, but I guess that the soil was still too cold. I had stored them in my root cellar and had high hopes, but they are not for my locale in southern BC. Sad:(
We’re sorry to hear your sweet potatoes did not perform as expected. Sweet potato slips are very sensitive to cool temperatures, and even planting a week after the recommended date may not be enough if the soil is still too cold. They prefer consistently warm soil (around 18°C / 65°F or warmer) to establish healthy roots and begin growing.
Storing the slips in a root cellar was a good step to help preserve them before planting, but cool spring conditions can still prevent slips from getting established. Sweet potatoes can be challenging in some cooler growing regions, and we understand how disappointing it is when you had high hopes for a successful crop.
Thank you for sharing your experience — we appreciate the feedback and hope you have better success with future plantings.
We bought sweet potatoes. The ordering process was online. It was easy to use. The product arrived on time, healthy, and with instructions. I followed the instructions provided and we had a 100% succes rate. A few plugs looked weak but grew just fine. Everything is healthy, and we are extremely happy. I would recommend.
Unfortunately they were dead by the time I received them. This was the second time it happened.
We’re sorry to hear that your sweet potato slips arrived in poor condition, especially since this was your second experience with them not surviving the trip. We understand how disappointing it is to receive delicate plants that are in less than ideal condition.
Sweet potato slips are particularly sensitive to shipping conditions and can be affected by transit time, temperature fluctuations, and handling along the way. While some wilting can be normal after shipping, slips should still have viable stems and roots to recover once planted.
We appreciate you sharing your experience and apologize for the frustration. We will continue to monitor feedback on our sweet potato slips to help improve the shipping experience.
only one single plant grew
We’re sorry to hear that only one sweet potato slip successfully grew. Sweet potato slips are very delicate and can be affected by shipping stress, temperature fluctuations, and transplant conditions. While some slips may recover after planting, others may struggle to establish if they experience stress during transit.
We understand how disappointing it is when the majority of the plants do not take, especially after the time and effort involved in planting and caring for them. Thank you for sharing your experience — we appreciate your feedback and will continue to monitor the performance of our sweet potato slips.
wish I knew about you years ago ! 98 sprouting!!!
Order took way longer than anticipated to ship, none of the sweet potato slips grew after planting following the instructions.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your sweet potato slips did not grow after you followed the planting instructions.
Sweet potato slips are one of our most delicate products, which is why we carefully plan our shipping schedule each spring. We grow our slips in-house and wait for the appropriate weather conditions before sending them out, as cold temperatures can quickly damage or kill these young plants during transit. While this can sometimes mean orders take longer to ship, our goal is always to ensure they arrive alive and with the best chance of success.
We understand how disappointing it is to put time and effort into planting and not see results. Sweet potato slips can be sensitive after shipping, and we appreciate you following the provided planting instructions. We will be happy to review your order and help address the issue.
Thank you again for your feedback. We appreciate you giving our sweet potato slips a try and the opportunity to improve your experience.
