How to grow Potato 'Harlequin'

  • Partial Sun

  • Medium

Harlequin likes a position of partial sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Harlequin 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. Harlequin needs a loamy and clay soil with a ph of 5.0 to 6.0 (moderately acidic soil to weakly acidic soil).

Growing Harlequin 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 Harlequin about 14 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Harlequin

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