Potato 'Blue Danube'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Blue Danube is thought of as tender, so it is really important to plant out well after your last frost date. Planting Blue Danube in loamy and clay soil with a ph of between 5.0 and 6.0 is ideal for as it does best in moderately acidic soil to weakly acidic soil.

Early maincrop – plant 18" apart in rows 2ft apart.

Sow at a depth of approx. 7.8 inches (20.0 cm) and aim for a distance of at least 1.46 feet (45.0 cm) between Potato plants.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Blue Danube about 14 days before your last frost date.

As Blue Danube is tender, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.

This variety tends to be ready for harvesting by late summer.
