Notes
'Hot Chocolate' potato (Solanum tuberosum 'Hot Chocolate') is a vegetable for food gardens and containers. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Bees visit the flowers. Rabbits rarely make it their first choice.
Pairs well with Gimlet cucumber, Dukat dill, and Santo cilantro.
