Notes

'Naked Bear' potato (Solanum tuberosum 'Naked Bear') 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. The flowers attract bees, and the plant tolerates salt.

Pairs well with Mexican Sour Gherkin cucumber, Long Island Mammoth dill, and Flashback Mix calendula.
