Notes

'Voodoo' potato (Solanum tuberosum 'Voodoo') 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. It is not a favorite of rabbits, though hungry rabbits will eat almost anything. Bees visit its blooms.

Pairs well with Painted Mountain corn, Fern Leaf dill, and Alpha calendula.
