{"product_id":"sweet-potato-plants-purple-majesty","title":"Sweet Potato Plants, Purple Majesty","description":"\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eReleased by Louisiana State University in 2013, \u003cstrong\u003ePurple Majesty\u003c\/strong\u003e is the reigning king of purple-fleshed sweet potatoes. It combines intensely dark-purple (almost black) skin with a breathtaking, uniform royal-purple flesh that stays vividly colored after baking, boiling, steaming, or roasting. The flavor is rich, mildly sweet with earthy, almost chestnut-like undertones — never watery and far more sophisticated than orange types. Its moist-yet-firm texture makes it incredible baked whole, mashed, turned into vibrant purple gnocchi or fries, or added to soups and curries where the color and taste both shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"auto\"\u003eWhy Grow Purple Majesty?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJaw-dropping, deep royal-purple flesh all the way through — the most intense color of any purple sweet potato on the market\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRich, nutty-sweet flavor that’s never bland or overly sugary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh anthocyanin content (powerful antioxidants — even more than blueberries!)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent yields — routinely matches or beats Beauregard and Stokes Purple in university trials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUniform, attractive, spindle-shaped roots with smooth, dark-purple skin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVery good storage life once properly cured\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrong resistance to fusarium wilt and southern root-knot nematode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidely adapted — thrives from Texas and the Deep South all the way to shorter-season northern gardens with black plastic or row covers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"auto\"\u003eSimple Growing Instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlant after all danger of frost when soil temperatures reach 65 °F+ (mid-to-late spring)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull sun and loose, well-drained soil (pH 5.8–6.5); raised beds or ridges work perfectly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpace slips 10–18 inches apart (12–15 inches is ideal for maximum marketable size)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRows 36–48 inches apart (fits nicely on 42–48-inch beds)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBury roots and lower stem nodes 3–4 inches deep, leaving leaves above soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep evenly moist until established, then moderate water — tolerates heat and short dry spells\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo hilling required — sweet potatoes set roots along the vine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarvest in 110–130 days when vines begin yellowing (dig before heavy frost)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCure 7–14 days at 80–85 °F and high humidity, then store at 55–60 °F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e100% Non-GMO: Purple Majesty is a traditionally bred LSU cultivar.
