Description / Potato Huckleberry Gold- 2 Pound Bag
Potato Huckleberry Gold is a potato variety grown for its purple skin, yellow flesh, and rich, creamy texture. This 2-pound bag of seed tubers produces small to medium round or oval potatoes with a buttery flavor that gourmet chefs prize. Developed from a cross of American and European varieties, Huckleberry Gold offers yield potential equal to or better than Yukon Gold, along with resistance to scab, fusarium dry rot, PVX, and verticillium wilt.
These colorful potatoes are a natural choice for home vegetable gardens and raised beds in full sun. In the kitchen, the creamy, buttery flesh makes this potato a standout at the table, and the tubers have good storage potential for enjoying your harvest later. Huckleberry Gold is also noted for its very low glycemic index, making it a thoughtful option for health-conscious cooks.
Plant seed potatoes in full sun once the soil warms to 50 to 55 degrees F, spacing them about 8 inches apart in average loam or sandy soil. Keep nitrogen low, applying two-thirds of your fertilizer before planting and the remaining third after the vines develop. Expect mid- to late-season maturity in 90 to 110 days. It is moderately susceptible to PVY and susceptible to early and late blight and soft rot. Purple skin, yellow flesh, and gourmet flavor set Huckleberry Gold apart.
