Potato Huckleberry Gold- 2 Pound Bag

Potato Huckleberry Gold is a gourmet seed potato that pairs striking purple skin with tender yellow flesh. Each 2 pound bag of seed tubers yields small to medium round or oval potatoes celebrated for a creamy texture and buttery taste, qualities that have made this variety a favorite of gourmet chefs. Bred from a cross of American and European varieties, it delivers yield potential equal to or better than Yukon Gold.

Grow Huckleberry Gold in sunny vegetable beds and raised gardens where good looks and refined flavor are equally welcome. The potatoes have good storage potential, extending the enjoyment of your harvest after the season ends. Noted for a very low glycemic index, this potato offers a thoughtful choice for cooks who watch what they eat without sacrificing flavor.

Plant in full sun when soil temperatures reach 50 to 55 degrees F, setting seed pieces about 8 inches apart in average loam or sandy soil. Keep nitrogen modest, with two thirds applied before planting and one third once vines are established. Tubers reach maturity in 90 to 110 days, placing this variety in the mid to late season. Huckleberry Gold resists scab, fusarium dry rot, PVX, and verticillium wilt, though it is susceptible to early and late blight and soft rot. Purple skin, golden yellow flesh, and a refined buttery flavor give this potato its distinctive character.
