  • Medium

Try to plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Red Gold is thought of as tender, so it is really important to plant out well after your last frost date. Ideally plant in loamy and clay soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 5.0 and 6.0 as Red Gold likes to be in moderately acidic soil to weakly acidic soil.

Transplanting Red Gold

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Red Gold is a tender plant.
