Potato 'Red Star'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water moderately. Red Star is generally regarded as a tender plant, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Red Star needs a loamy and clay soil with a ph of 5.0 to 6.0 (moderately acidic soil to weakly acidic soil).

Potatoes are generally grown from the eyes of another potato and not from seed.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 11.7 inches (30.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 5.85 inches (15.0 cm).

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

Red Star is tender, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.

The English word potato comes from Spanish patata.
