Notes
'Dark Red Norland' potatoes (Solanum tuberosum 'Dark Red Norland') is a vegetable for food gardens and containers. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Rabbits tend to pass it by. This early red variety is productive, and its flowers attract bees.
Pairs well with Corinto cucumber, Alpha calendula, and Dukat dill.
