Vermillion Sweet Potato

Sweet potato

Vermillion stands out for its visual appearance, vibrant red skin and deep yellow flesh, with strong appeal in the fresh market. When baked, it has a rich, carrot-like flavour, distinct from more common varieties.

It adapts well to sandy and heavier soils, and its tough skin gives it excellent storage potential. Its disease profile is similar to that of Orleans.
