Solanum, Potato 'Dark Red Norland'

Description

Potatoes | Solanum tuberosum 'Dark Red Norland'

A well loved, high yielding and versatile selection, perfect for large containers, raised beds and sunny gardens; round or oval, these red skinned potatoes give way to creamy white flesh and a delicious flavor that is great for any culinary dish.

1) Before planting set your seed potatoes in a warm location (between 60 and 70 degrees F.) in full sun such as on a kitchen window sill, for one to two weeks. This will induce sprouting.
2) One day before planting, take a sharp, clean knife and cut the potato into planting pieces. Each piece should be approximately 1 ½ - 2 inch square, and must contain at least 1 or 2 eyes. (Eyes can be identified as the indentations or dimples on a potato) Small potatoes with a minimal amount of eyes may be planted whole.
3) Allow planting pieces to dry and form a callous over their cuts.
