About Nancy Hall

(Ipomoea batatas). Your order includes 5 plants. Nancy Hall is an heirloom sweet potato with deep roots in the southeastern U.S. For decades, it dominated the commercial sweet potato market, and was once so popular that in 1939 the folks in Paris, Tennessee, held a "Nancy Hall Sweet Potato Jubilee." It's not clear how this potato got its name; one story from the late 1890s claims that it was an accidental cross of potato and flower seeds by Miss Nancy Hall. Regardless of its origin, the Nancy Hall has firm, golden flesh and tan skin, and while it never grows to gargantuan size, the 4- to 8-inch-long tubers keep well and deliver superb flavor. This historic variety is included in the Slow Food Ark of Taste, and it deserves to be grown and preserved! Please make sure you are ready for your order in your zone as these young, tender plants generally have no resistance to cold. Perennial in zones 7-11
