Potato 'Kerr's Pink'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Kerr's Pink is thought of as tender, so it is really important to ensure that the outside temperature is well above freezing before planting or moving outdoors. Kerr's Pink requires a loamy and clay soil with a ph of 5.0 - 6.0 - it grows best in moderately acidic soil to weakly acidic soil.

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

Look to ensure a distance 11.7 inches (30.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - bury at a depth of at least 5.85 inches (15.0 cm) deep.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Kerr's Pink about 14 days before your last frost date.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Kerr's Pink is a tender plant.

The English word potato comes from Spanish patata.
