Growing method
Easy to grow, it adapts to different types of soil and offers good uniformity in size, making it an ideal choice for both beginner and experienced gardeners. April to May, as soon as the soil reaches 8-10°C and there is no longer a risk of frost. In-ground method. First, prepare the soil by loosening it and incorporating compost or well-rotted manure. Then, plant the tubers 9 cm (4 in) deep, with the sprouts facing upwards. Next, space each plant 30 to 40 cm (12 to 16 in) apart, in rows spaced 70 cm (28 in) apart. Then, cover with soil and water lightly. Pot or grow bag cultivation. First, choose a large container (40 cm (16 in) deep minimum). Then, plant the tubers in 15 cm (6 in) of potting soil, then cover. Next, add potting soil gradually as it grows. Then, water regularly without saturating the soil. Tip: Well-drained soil and crop rotation help prevent diseases such as blight or scab. Harvest: 80 to 100 days after planting, when the foliage begins to yellow and dry. Let the potatoes dry for a few hours on the ground before storing them.
Soil and care
The right care,at the right time.
Watering
Keep the soil consistently moist during potato growth and tuber bulking. Water at the base when the soil surface begins to dry out, taking rainfall into account. Moisten the root zone without allowing water to stagnate, and avoid alternating between complete dryness and saturation. In pots or grow bags, check moisture more often, especially in hot weather. Reduce watering as the foliage naturally yellows as harvest approaches.
Soil type
For potatoes, choose loose, fertile, and well-drained soil that is easy to work around the tubers. Check drainage after rain: water should be able to drain away from the root zone. Work the soil when it is dry enough to avoid compacting it. Adjust amendments to its actual texture. For container growing, use an appropriate potting mix and a pot with drainage holes. Keep these openings clear and avoid any water accumulation in the saucer.
Fertilization
Adapt fertilization to the richness of your soil and the needs of the crop. A soil analysis helps in choosing useful inputs before planting. Respect the dosage indicated on your fertilizer packaging and measure the quantity before applying it. Take into account compost and other inputs already made to avoid feeding the same plant twice. Distribute the product according to its instructions; avoid concentrated contact with roots or storage organs. A higher input does not guarantee a better harvest.

Container growing
A garden,within reach.
To grow potatoes in a container, choose a deep, sturdy bin, or a grow bag designed for this purpose. Drainage holes should allow excess water to escape without letting the growing medium seep out. Leave room to add soil around the base as the stems develop: new tubers must remain protected from light. Place the container in the sun, in a spot where you can water easily. Check the moisture below the surface during growth, as the available soil volume dries out faster than a garden bed. Plant in spring when the ground is thawed, no longer waterlogged, and sufficiently warmed. Choose full sun and loose, fertile, well-drained soil. Prepare accessible rows for maintenance, then plant the seed potatoes with the sprouts facing upwards. As they grow, mound soil around the base to keep new tubers protected from light. Water regularly when the soil dries out, without saturating it. In a container, ensure sufficient depth to gradually add growing medium and keep drainage holes clear so that excess water can drain away.
Bloom and dimensions
Its place,in your garden.
Bloom period
Potatoes may flower during growth, but the presence of flowers varies depending on the variety and growing conditions. The absence of flowering does not necessarily mean that no tubers are forming. Primarily observe the foliage development and respect the harvesting period adapted to the variety. The flowers and any small berries that may follow them are not edible. Edible harvest concerns healthy, non-green, and cooked tubers.
Garden associations
In goodcompany.
Companion plants
Install neighboring crops at a sufficient distance to avoid hindering maintenance or blocking the light needed by this plant. Compare their mature height and water needs before sharing the same space. Keep paths clear to water and harvest without damaging the leaves. Companion planting in the vegetable garden should primarily facilitate care and efficient use of space; it does not guarantee protection against diseases or pests. Clearly separate different varieties with labels to identify each one at harvest time and track your results over the seasons.

Edible parts
Healthy, ungreened tubers after cooking; exclude sprouts, leaves, stems, and berries
Herb-roasted potatoes. Use healthy potatoes from your harvest, free of greening and sprouts. Wash them thoroughly, remove any damaged parts, and cut them into pieces of similar size so they cook evenly. Toss them with a little oil, salt, pepper, and herbs of your choice, such as thyme or rosemary. Spread them in a single layer in a dish or on a baking sheet, without overcrowding. Roast them in the oven until the outside is golden and the flesh is tender when pierced. Turn the pieces during cooking to brown several sides. Serve with vegetables, a salad, or your main course. You can add fresh chives just before serving. Adjust cooking time based on the size of the pieces and your oven. This recipe uses tubers harvested from the garden, never plants sold for planting, leaves, berries, or sprouts.
Frequently asked questions
Your questions,answered.
How to successfully plant organic 'Sangre' potatoes?
Plant in spring when the ground has thawed, is moist and sufficiently warm. Choose full sun and loose, fertile, well-drained soil. Prepare accessible rows for maintenance, then plant the tubers with the sprouts facing upwards. As they grow, mound soil around the base to keep new tubers protected from light. Water regularly when the soil dries out, without saturating it. In containers, ensure sufficient depth to progressively add substrate and keep the drainage holes clear so that excess water can drain away.
What kind of light does organic 'Sangre' potato need?
Recommended exposure: full sun. Observe the light at the chosen location in the morning and afternoon, as the shade from trees or buildings changes throughout the day. Also consider neighboring plants: their foliage can obscure a young planting as it grows. For container plants, place the pot where you can move it if conditions become too hot or too shady. Appropriate exposure must go hand in hand with suitable soil and watering. If you are moving a plant started indoors to an outdoor location, gradually acclimate it to garden conditions to avoid too abrupt a transition for young leaves.
How to adjust watering?
Water according to the actual soil moisture, taking into account rain, heat, and wind. Check below the surface before deciding to water again: soil that is dry on the surface may still be moist at the root level. Direct the water to the base and allow it to penetrate, without keeping the plant in saturated soil. Containers generally require more frequent checks because they dry out faster. Make sure their drainage holes remain clear and empty any saucers that retain water. Also adapt care to the plant's cycle: active growth and a dormant period do not require the same amount of watering.
What should I plan for a container garden?
Container gardening requires you to consider the necessary volume for the roots and the plant's final height. Choose a stable pot with drainage holes and a suitable planting medium. Leave enough space to respect the recommended depth and spacing, rather than packing plants tightly to immediately fill the pot. Place the container in the indicated exposure and regularly check the moisture, especially in hot or windy weather. A pot is more exposed to temperature variations than a plant in the ground. Therefore, plan ahead for a wintering location compatible with the plant's needs and your region's climate.
What care should be planned after the growing season?
Harvest carefully to avoid damaging the tubers with your tools. Set aside any damaged potatoes and prioritize consuming those with still-fragile skins. To store a mature harvest, choose a dark, cool, and airy place that protects the tubers from light. The plants sold here are intended for planting; only harvested, healthy, non-green tubers are to be eaten after cooking. Do not eat the leaves, stems, sprouts, or berries. Also, check the condition of the potatoes during storage to remove any that are deteriorating.
