Notes
'Speckled Hound' potato (Solanum tuberosum 'Speckled Hound') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and pollinator gardens. 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. Rabbits tend to pass it by. Bees visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Dukat dill, Flashback Mix calendula, and Cantaloupe.
