Notes
'Chieftain' potato (Solanum tuberosum 'Chieftain') is a vegetable for food gardens and containers. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It sits low on the menu for rabbits. This heirloom takes 80 days to mature, and bees visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Fernleaf dill, Alpha calendula, and Mexican Sour Gherkin cucumber.
