How Long Do Beauregard Sweet Potatoes Take to Grow?

Sweet potatoes are among the most versatile and nutritious crops in global agriculture. For exporters, farmers, and consumers alike, one of the most common questions is: How long does it take for Beauregard sweet potatoes to grow? The answer is both simple and strategic — Beauregard sweet potatoes mature in approximately 90–110 days, making them one of the fastest and most reliable varieties for commercial production.

Growth Timeline

1. Planting Slips (Day 0–10): Beauregard sweet potatoes are propagated from slips — young shoots grown from mature roots. Once planted in warm, well‑drained soil, they begin to establish roots quickly.

2. Vine Development (Day 10–40): The plants spread across the soil surface, creating a dense vine cover that protects against weeds and erosion.

3. Root Expansion (Day 40–70): Underground, the tubers begin forming and expanding. This stage is crucial for irrigation and nutrient management.

4. Maturation (Day 70–110): By late summer or early autumn, the roots reach full size, with uniform copper‑colored skin and vibrant orange flesh.

5. Harvest: Typically between 90–110 days after planting, farmers can expect high yields — often 10–14 marketable roots per plant.

Why Beauregard Is Popular

• Fast maturity: 90–110 days compared to other varieties that may take longer.

• High yield: Consistent production of large, uniform roots.

• Disease resistance: Strong tolerance to common sweet potato diseases.

• Export reliability: Long shelf life and excellent transport durability.

These qualities make Beauregard the leading choice for supermarkets, restaurants, and food processors in Europe, North America, and the Middle East.

Culinary and Market Value

Beauregard sweet potatoes are not only quick to grow but also highly versatile in cooking:

• Roasted or baked for caramelized flavor

• Mashed for creamy side dishes

• Sweet potato fries as a healthier alternative

• Frozen cuts for food service and retail

Their bright orange flesh and naturally sweet taste make them a favorite in both home kitchens and industrial processing.
