How to grow Potato 'White'

  • Partial Sun

  • Medium

A partial sun position will ensure your plant thrives and remember to water moderately. White is generally regarded as a tender plant, so remember to ensure that temperatures are mild before moving outdoors. White needs a loamy and clay soil with a ph of 5.0 to 6.0 (moderately acidic soil to weakly acidic soil).

Growing White from seed

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

Aim to sow 5.85 inches (15.0 cm) deep and try to ensure a gap of at least 11.7 inches (30.0 cm).

By our calculations, you should look at sowing White about 14 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting White

White is tender, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.
