Growing and harvest

A mid-season variety with good yield potential when moisture is adequate. It has documented common scab resistance and strong resistance to potato virus Y; resistance does not mean immunity to every disease.

Plant in full sun in loose, well-drained soil once spring soil conditions are suitable. Space seed pieces about 12 inches apart, allow room between rows for hilling, and keep developing tubers covered. Provide consistent moisture without waterlogging. Harvest new potatoes gently; for storage, wait for mature skins and cure sound tubers before storing.
