Description

Simonetta is ideal for salads due to its pale yellow flesh color and very low tendency to darken when cooked. It is less susceptible to scab and black spot and produces high yields with an attractive, balanced variety. The skin is smooth yellow with flat eyes. Firm cooking. Simonetta can also be stored very well as it is very sprout-resistant. 130-150 days to maturity.

Non hybrid

Not frost resistant

Growing tips

The potato is a heavy feeder and prefers deep, nutrient-rich soil without waterlogging in a temperate, sunny climate. Seed potatoes should be sprouted approx. 4 weeks before the planting date, e.g. in an egg box in a bright place without direct sunlight. You should keep the seed potatoes warm until they sprout, after which they can continue to sprout in a cooler place. This sequence encourages the formation of many large potatoes. As soon as tubers begin to form, the potato plants need plenty of water. However, waterlogging should be avoided at all costs. Mounding up soil around the plants several times during tuber formation ensures that more tubers can form.
