Notes
'Turk's Turban' potato (Solanum tuberosum 'Turk's Turban') 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. It sits low on the menu for rabbits. Bees visit the blooms, and the plant tolerates salt.
Pairs well with Marketer cucumber, Long Island Mammoth dill, and Peione parsley.
