F1 Hybrid

Not frost resistant

Growing tips

Sowing 2 times the seed strength, harvest after 45 days. Possibly protect from snails. Direct sowing often produces more beautiful tubers, but harvesting then usually takes place in the fall. Consistent moisture is important. Harvest tubers when they are still stout. When they begin to stretch, they become fibrous and hard. Cut tubers just above the ground, shoots will grow back if the root remains in the ground. Give a 3-4 year break from cultivation.
