How to grow Potato 'Charlotte'

  • Partial Sun

    +
  • Medium

A partial sun position will ensure your plant thrives and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Charlotte is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. A soil ph of between 5.0 and 6.0 is ideal for Charlotte as it does best in moderately acidic soil - weakly acidic soil.

Growing Charlotte from seed

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 Charlotte about 14 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Charlotte

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