What customers say
Customers consistently highlight the exceptional quality and flavor of the mature Murasaki sweet potatoes, noting their superior texture and sweetness compared to standard varieties. However, the primary concern centers on the reliability of the slips upon arrival. While many report vigorous, healthy starts that establish easily, a significant minority find the slips fragile or damaged during transit, impacting initial success rates. Overall, the high reward of the harvest justifies the initial planting effort for most dedicated gardeners seeking this specific Japanese variety.
