HOW TO GROW
Sow Potato Clancy just as you would tomatoes, about 6-8 weeks before last frost, and transplant out in the garden on your spring tomato planting date. From there treat as you would a normal potato plant, mounding up soil every few weeks (works great in a container too!) Click here for a complete, in-depth culture and growing guide.
JUDGE'S OBSERVATIONS
- “This red potato was fun to grow from seed, good flavor.”
- “Easily sprouted and transplanted into the garden”
- “Great texture and flavor, making it especially good for mashing or boiling due to its lighter texture.”
- “Flesh color is whiter, and texture and flavor inside seem like a cross between a yellow-fleshed potato and a russet.”
- “I like this one. It is unique and something fun for gardeners’ young and old alike. The almost mythical seed potato has finally been discovered. Each plant I harvested had 3-4 decent sized tubers and half a dozen more large grape sized tubers. This is one I would grow for fun at home with the kids and for food purposes as well. It takes nothing to grow these and they last a long time in the ground. ”
- “Compact healthy dark green plants with bright darker blue flowers with yellow in the center of each flower.”
