Notes

'Cecile' potato (Solanum tuberosum 'Cecile') is a vegetable for the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun. It is grown for boiled, roasted, soup, and salad dishes, and its finger-like tubers have smooth red skin and yellow flesh. Plant it in early spring while the soil is still cool, and hill up the plants to increase yield.

Pairs well with Hungarian Wax Hot Pepper, Cucumber, and Kent Beauty oregano.
