Notes
'Red Gold' potato (Solanum tuberosum 'Red Gold') 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, and the plant also tolerates salt. Rabbits rarely make it their first choice.
Pairs well with Long Island Mammoth dill, Alpha calendula, and Hollyhock.
