Potato 'red cloud'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that red cloud 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. 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 cloud likes to be in moderately acidic soil to weakly acidic soil.

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 cloud about 14 days before your last frost date.

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