Orange-fleshed sweet potato recommendations

Ruth_10 · January 21, 2008

Sweet potatoes seem like they belong in the " Miscellaneous Vegetables" section rather than here in the "Irish potatoes" section, but others have posted sweet potato questions here, so I will as well.

My question: What varieties of orange-fleshed sweet potatoes would people recommend?

I live west of St. Louis, MO. We have a long, hot summer (first fall frost in late October, hard freeze in November). I haven't grown sweet potatoes before, but have been oggling the Sandhill list for several years.
