potato 'Lady Christl'

Will grow well in a prepared and well manured bed not previously used to grow potatoes for the last two years. Avoid waterlogged ground. Begin planting early spring and earth up as the plant grows, tubers push up towards the surface and can become green and toxic if exposed to sunlight. Also grows well in deep 8-10 ltr planters placing tubers 12 inches deep from the top.

No pruning required

Grow from tubers known as 'seed potatoes' which are sprouted or 'chitted' prior to planting. Tubers can be chitted from January and planted between March and May, when the risk of frost has passed.

May be susceptible to potato blight.
