Potato 'Epicure'

Epicure likes a position of partial sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Epicure 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. Epicure 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.

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 Epicure about 14 days before your last frost date.

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

This is the variety being used for ‘Ayrshire new potatoes’. From the west coast of Scotland.
