  • Soil requirements: Purple potatoes prefer well-drained, loose, and sandy loam soil with a pH level between 5.0 and 6.0. The soil should be rich in organic matter to support healthy growth.
  • Sunlight needs: Purple potatoes require full sun, which means they need at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
  • Watering requirements: Consistent watering is crucial for purple potatoes. They need about 1-2 inches of water per week. Ensure the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. Watering should be more frequent during dry spells.
  • Planting season: The best time to plant purple potato seeds is in early spring, after the last frost date. In warmer climates, they can also be planted in late summer for a fall harvest.
  • Depth and spacing: Plant the purple potato seeds about 4 inches deep and space them 12 inches apart in rows that are 30-36 inches apart. This spacing allows for adequate growth and tuber development.
  • Germination time: Purple potato seeds typically take about 2-3 weeks to germinate under optimal conditions.
  • Maturity time: Purple potatoes generally take about 90-120 days to reach maturity after planting.
  • Harvesting time: The best time to harvest purple potatoes is when the foliage starts to yellow and die back, usually in late summer or early fall. Harvesting is best done in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid the heat of the day.
  • Harvesting tips: Use a garden fork or spade to gently lift the potatoes from the soil. Be careful not to damage the tubers. After harvesting, allow the potatoes to cure in a cool, dark, and well-ventilated area for about 1-2 weeks before storing them. Store the cured potatoes in a cool, dark place with good air circulation to prolong their shelf life.
