Scientific Name: Dioscorea alata, aka: Elephantodon eburnea, Greater yam, Guyana Arrowroot. 

Get ready to grow your very own vibrant Ube! These are True Purple Yam plants, perfect for cultivating at home for use in your favorite recipes.

Just to be clear, these are NOT purple sweet potatoes – they're a unique botanical treasure! You'll love their distinctive, twisted-looking vines and the impressive, nutritious yams they produce. What's even more fascinating is that these yams can stay quietly growing underground for several years, continuing to increase in size before harvest – truly a hard-to-find, incredibly popular plant that's ready to add a splash of color to your garden!

Features

  • Remarkably Resilient: This is a wonderfully prolific plant! Its rhizomes can be easily divided, helping you produce even more plants to enjoy. It's surprisingly tough, able to withstand temperatures as low as 22ºF while dormant.
  • Self-Pollinating: No need for a partner here! This tree is wonderfully self-fertile.
  • Stunning Aesthetics: Prepare for a tropical paradise in your own backyard! Its lush, abundant, gorgeous deep green foliage creates an exotic vibe and makes a truly stunning garden centerpiece.
  • Drought-Tolerant Champion: This plant is a trooper, happily enduring hot, humid temperatures and even dry spells. Just remember, it's not a fan of too much water!

Perfect Growing Zones Ube absolutely thrives in USDA Hardiness Zones 7b-11. If your home falls within these zones, congratulations—this fantastic plant is truly a perfect fit for you! Grows year-round indoors.

Culinary Uses Oh, where to begin with Ube, the famous purple yam! A true staple in Filipino cuisine, Ube is making a delicious splash in American food trends, too. It offers a wonderfully unique, sweet, nutty flavor and that absolutely captivating, vibrant purple hue. You'll find Ube bringing its magic to all sorts of dishes, from delightful desserts to savory sensations!

Dessert Delights:

  • Ube Ice Cream: A creamy, cool, and incredibly popular treat.
  • Ube Cakes: Known for their moist texture and beautiful purple color, often paired with macapuno (a special type of coconut).
  • Ube Mochi: Chewy, delightfully purple, and utterly delicious.
  • Ube Milk Tea/Ube Flurry: A trendy and tasty drink featuring that unmistakable ube flavoring.
  • Ube Pancakes/Waffles: Add vibrant color and unique flavor to your breakfast favorites.
  • Ube Custard Cake/Puffs: Infuses a wonderful flavor into these sweet, custardy creations.
  • Ube Halaya: A delightful jam or spread, perfect for toast or as a dessert on its own.
  • Ube in Halo-Halo: Adds a unique taste and eye-catching color to this beloved layered dessert.

Savory Surprises:

  • Ube in Bread/Pancakes: Incorporate ube into your savory bread or pancake dough for a twist.
  • Ube in Soups/Pasta: Experiment by adding ube as a flavorful component to savory dishes like soups or pasta.
  • Ube in Croquettes: A fun way to include ube in a croquette or other savory recipe.
  • Did you know tubers may also be processed into flour or starch? Plus, purple yams can be boiled, mashed, fried, or baked – just like your favorite potatoes or even turned into delicious fries! They're fantastic in stews, stir-fries, and soups. And, in the Philippines, they are often transformed into flour, frequently used in creating exquisite desserts. Ube powder is also a wonderful way to create that vibrant purple color in your Instagram-worthy foods, from candies and rice to cakes, desserts, and jams!

Nutritional & Botanical Highlights Ube, or purple yam, is celebrated for its wonderful nutritional profile and the unique compounds that contribute to its vivid purple color.

  • Rich in Key Nutrients: Purple yams are a good source of vitamin C.
  • Contains Anthocyanins: Like other blue-pigmented berries and purple vegetables, ube contains anthocyanins, which are natural plant compounds with antioxidant properties responsible for its beautiful color.
  • Complex Carbohydrates: Purple yams are full of complex carbohydrates and resistant starch (a type of starch that resists digestion in the small intestine).

Growth Habits & Best Practices

  • Impressive Height: This lush tropical beauty can climb up to an amazing 100 feet when given a trellis!
  • Light Preference: Loves the sun but is quite adaptable and can tolerate partial shade.
  • Soil: Keeps this plant happy with rich, well-draining soil.
  • Dormancy: In winter, typically from late November or early December, plants in zones 1-7 may enter a dormant phase until around March or April. The foliage might wither, dry, and disappear, but don't worry—the roots stay cozy underground unless they experience a prolonged, deep freeze. In zones 7-11, it grows as a perennial!
  • Propagation: Ube propagates from vine cuttings easily by growing roots in water or directly planting in soil using a root stimulator. 
  • Where to Plant: A sunny or dappled light location in your backyard is perfect, especially with a sturdy trellis or a friendly tree for the vines to climb on! But don't worry, it's adaptable enough to thrive in a sunny room inside your house, too!

Planting Guide Once Roots are Established

  • Dig a hole as wide as your pot or plant rhizome, aiming for approximately 2-4 inches deep.
  • Carefully remove your plant or rhizome and place it in the hole.
  • Fill the hole with soil, and give it a good, generous watering to help it settle in.
  • If you're in zones lower than 7, remember to bring your potted plant inside for winter protection.
  • Container Planting: For containers, plant 2-3 inches deep in a good quality, well-draining potting mix.

Care Routine

  • Give it regular watering, but make sure to let the soil dry out nicely between waterings.
  • Keep it happy by fertilizing with a balanced fertilizer every year.
  • Fun Facts: Did you know there's a Ube Festival? It's a popular annual celebration of all things UBE! Humans have known and appreciated Ube since ancient times, truly a plant with a long and storied past.

Ideal For

  • Home gardeners in warm regions who love unique and visually stunning plants.
  • Gardeners eager to add eye-catching and productive plants to their landscape.
  • Anyone interested in self-sufficiency and growing their own sustainable, nutrient-dense food sources that can continue to grow underground for years!

🚫 Not Ideal For

  • Those residing in frigid regions below USDA Zone 5, unless you can bring a potted plant indoors for winter protection.
  • Gardeners who don't have enough sun or a suitable trellis for climbing vines.

This spray serum is lovely!
This spray serum is very nice! First, let me qualify that my husband works in dermatology and I have access to high-end skin care products. I’ve taken good care of my skin for years and it’s already in great shape, so I never expect to see dramatically-improved results from any new product. That said, I was pleased with the Color Science Barrier Pro Serum Spray sent to me by Amazon Vine in return for my honest review. Does it make me look 10 years younger? No, but there is a “glow” after I spritz myself face that isn’t greasy or glittery, just skin that is hydrated and calm. The mist is very fine and doesn’t disturb my makeup, there’s no discernible scent, and it doesn’t sting my skin or eyes. It dries quick enough, maybe 30 seconds after I spritz it on. I’m not sure what to make of the claims that it helps my skin make its own vitamin D, but my skin feels refreshed and looks nice. I keep the spray bottle in my purse and use it throughout the day. It’s expensive emoji that I’d hesitate to purchase, but having used it, ai know the spray mist is extremely fine so it should last quite a while, even using it 3-4 times a day.

Protect your skin
Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 50
I really like this sunscreen spray. It’s easy to apply, dries quickly, and doesn’t feel greasy on my skin. The SPF 50 protection works great, even when I’m outside for a long time. It also stays on well when I sweat or get in the water. Overall, it’s a reliable and convenient sunscreen that I’d definitely recommend.

Awesome value for quality Banana Boat sunscreen
Size: 24 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 50
Inside the package you get 2 sprays and 1 lotion, each 8oz. For the price, you really can’t beat it. Banana Boat is a staple sunscreen especially for my nieces and nephews who can go through a bottle of sunscreen in just a couple weeks. I like the lotion for base layer, and spray for reapplication when they don’t want to sit still, haha. The sport formula is great, it blends and goes on without much hassle. Definitely sweat resident too!

Excellent Coverage and Very Easy to Apply
Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 50
I bought this Banana Boat Sport SPF 50 spray about six months ago, and it has worked perfectly for all my outdoor activities. It provides strong and reliable sun protection, even on very sunny days, and I really appreciate that it protects from up to 98% of burning rays. I’ve used it at the beach, walking outdoors, and even on long days outside, and I haven’t experienced any sunburn. The spray format makes it very easy to apply—quick, even, and mess-free. It absorbs fast without feeling sticky or heavy on the skin, which is something I love because I don’t like sunscreens that leave a greasy layer. It’s also water-resistant, so it stays on even when I sweat or go into the water. Overall, this sunscreen is ideal if you want strong protection, easy application, and a formula that feels comfortable on the skin. I would definitely buy it again and recommend it for anyone who spends a lot of time outdoors.

29 years of riding a Harley, THIS is the best sun protection I have found for long SUNNY day rides!
Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 50
This is my "Go To" Sunscreen of choice that I find is the best to quickly spray my arms down good before a long Harley Motorcycle ride! I have tried many brands and styles from creams to face specific to lip balm but this one can does it all in my case! I quickly spray my arms ( no rubbing in required ) and a quick spray in my hand and I then rub my nose and ears , face and i'm ready to ride and I am protected! Most times I only apply this product once a day and works better than anything else for my needs. I am light skin but I have ridden lots this Summer and my arms never burn and now have a deep tan as we are entering fall... I made the mistake of trying a store brand that looked like this product but was oily and never used it but once! This Banana boat once sprayed on my arms, I never think about it again as its gone but still protecting my skin! This is the best I have found after 29 years or riding a motorcycle to protect my skin with the least amount of trouble , No strange or tropical smell, NO greasy feel just quick applied lasting sun protection that has proven itself mile after mile! The BEST Sun product I have found!
