Netherland Bulb Boxed Seed Potatoes - German Butterball Variety

Discover the Delight of Home Grown Potatoes

Solanum tuberosum 'German Butterball' is a premium variety of seed potatoes that promises to elevate your gardening experience. Enjoy the unmatched flavor and freshness of home grown potatoes, which are not only tastier but also healthier than store bought options. With just a few seed potatoes, you can harvest buckets of delicious potatoes that can be enjoyed fresh or stored for winter use.

These seed potatoes thrive in well-drained, moisture-retentive, fertile soil enriched with organic matter. The ideal pH level for optimal growth is between 5.0 and 6.0, so avoid using lime soil as it should be slightly acidic. To prevent disease, it is crucial not to plant potatoes in the same bed as tomatoes. Implement a three-year crop rotation plan to ensure healthy growth and yield.

Planting and Maintenance Information:

Light Requirements: Full Sun
Bulbs per Square Foot: 2

To maximize your potato crop, ensure consistent watering throughout the summer, particularly during the flowering stage and immediately after. Watering early in the day allows the foliage to dry completely before evening, reducing the risk of disease. For those with limited space, innovative gardeners have successfully grown potatoes in garbage cans or stacked tires, proving that creativity can lead to fruitful results.

Bloom Time: Harvest from early summer to fall
Hardiness Zone: 4-9
