{"product_id":"sweet-potato-plants-white-bonita-free-shipping","title":"Sweet Potato Plants, White Bonita (Free Shipping)","description":"\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eReleased by Louisiana State University in 2010, White Bonita (sometimes just called Bonita) combines a beautiful, light tan\/rose skin with creamy-white, firm flesh that stays white when cooked. It offers a mild, slightly nutty, less-sweet flavor than orange types — think Yukon Gold potato meets sweet potato — making it perfect for savory dishes, fries, chips, roasting, soups, gnocchi, tempura, or anywhere you want a sweet potato that doesn’t overpower with sugar. Excellent baked or mashed with just butter and salt. High dry-matter content gives it a fluffy, potato-like texture while still delivering all the vitamins and fiber of a true sweet potato.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Grow White Bonita?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnique creamy-white flesh that holds its color when cooked\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMild, nutty, less-sweet taste — the #1 choice for savory recipes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutstanding yields (comparable to or better than Beauregard in trials)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVery good storage life — keeps for months in cool conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttractive light rose\/tan skin with smooth, uniform, elongated roots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrong resistance to fusarium wilt and southern root-knot nematode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeat-tolerant and widely adapted — performs beautifully from the Deep South to shorter-season northern gardens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSimple Growing Instructions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlant after all danger of frost when soil temps 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 work great\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpace slips 10–18 inches apart (12 inches is ideal for big yields)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRows 3–4 feet apart if planting multiple rows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBury roots and stem nodes 3–4 inches deep, leaves above soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater regularly until established, then moderately — fairly drought-tolerant once growing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo hilling required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarvest in 100–115 days when vines yellow (can hold in ground extra 1–2 weeks if needed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCure 7–10 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\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e100% Non-GMO:\u003c\/strong\u003e White Bonita is a traditionally bred LSU variety — we ship only certified virus-tested, non-GMO slips grown with organic practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eShips beginning of June as healthy, bare-root slips ready to take off.
