Planting guide
Plant well.Grow beautifully.
Growing method
Plant in spring when the ground has thawed, is no longer waterlogged, and is sufficiently warm. 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. If planting in containers, ensure sufficient depth to gradually add substrate and keep drainage holes clear so excess water can drain away. Harvest carefully to avoid damaging the tubers with your tools. Discard damaged tubers and prioritize eating potatoes with fragile skin first. To store a mature harvest, choose a dark, cool, and airy place that protects the tubers from light. The plants sold here are for planting; only harvested, healthy, and non-green tubers should 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.
Soil and care
The right care,at the right time.
Watering
Keep the soil consistently moist during potato growth and tuber development. Water at the base when the soil begins to dry below the surface, taking rainfall into account. Moisten the root zone without allowing water to stagnate, and avoid alternating between complete drying out and saturation. For potted or grow bag plants, check moisture levels more frequently, especially in hot weather. Reduce watering as the foliage naturally yellows closer to harvest.
Soil type
For potatoes, choose loose, fertile, 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 to avoid compaction. Adapt amendments to its actual texture. For container growing, use appropriate potting soil and a pot with drainage holes. Keep these openings clear and avoid any water accumulation in the saucer.
Fertilization
Adjust fertilization to the richness of your soil and the needs of your crops. A soil analysis helps determine 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 already applied inputs to avoid fertilizing the same plants twice. Distribute the product according to its instructions for use; avoid any concentrated contact with roots or storage organs. A higher application does not guarantee a better harvest.
Seasonal care
Plant in spring when the ground has thawed, is no longer waterlogged, and is sufficiently warm. Choose full sun and loose, fertile, well-drained soil. Prepare accessible rows for maintenance, then plant the seed 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. If planting in containers, ensure sufficient depth to gradually add substrate and keep drainage holes clear so excess water can drain away. Harvest carefully to avoid damaging the tubers with your tools. Set aside any damaged ones and prioritize consuming potatoes with fragile skins. To store a mature harvest, choose a dark, cool, airy place that protects the tubers from light. The plants sold here are for planting; only harvested, healthy, ungreened tubers should be consumed after cooking. Do not eat the leaves, stems, sprouts, or berries. Also check the condition of potatoes during storage to remove any that are deteriorating. Regularly observe growth and soil moisture throughout the season. Remove diseased debris and clean your tools before working on another planting. At harvest, handle edible parts with care to limit injuries that can accelerate their degradation.
Container growing
A garden,within reach.
To grow potatoes in containers, choose a deep, sturdy bin or a grow bag designed for this purpose. The drainage holes must allow excess water to escape without letting the soil substrate wash out. Leave room to add soil to the base as the stems develop: new tubers must remain protected from light. Place the container in a sunny 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 row. Plant in spring when the soil is thawed, dried out, and sufficiently warmed.

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 foliage development and respect the harvest period appropriate for the variety. The flowers and small berries that may follow them are not edible. Edible harvests concern healthy, non-greened, cooked tubers.
Garden associations
In goodcompany.
Companion plants
Install neighboring crops at a sufficient distance to avoid hindering maintenance or blocking the light needed for this plant. Compare their mature height and water requirements before sharing the same space. Keep paths clear for watering and harvesting without damaging leaves. A garden association should primarily facilitate care and space utilization; it does not guarantee protection against diseases or pests. Clearly separate different varieties with labels to identify each at harvest time and track your results over the seasons.

Edible parts
Sound, non-greening tubers harvested after cooking; exclude sprouts, leaves, stems, and berries
Herb-Roasted Potatoes. Use potatoes from your harvest that are healthy, not green, and sprout-free. Wash them thoroughly, remove any damaged parts, and cut them into similar-sized pieces 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 brown and the flesh is tender when pierced. Turn the pieces during cooking to brown multiple 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 preparation uses tubers harvested from the garden, never plants sold for planting, leaves, berries, or sprouts.

How to successfully plant ‘Combo Sack C2’ potatoes?
Plant in spring when the soil is thawed, dried out, and sufficiently warmed. Choose full sun and loose, fertile, well-drained soil. Prepare accessible rows for maintenance, then plant the seed tubers with the sprouts facing upwards. As they grow, mound soil around the base to keep the new tubers protected from light. Water regularly when the soil dries out, without saturating it. In containers, ensure sufficient depth to gradually add substrate and keep drainage holes clear so that excess water can drain away.
What light is needed for Potato ‘Combo Sack C2’?
The recommended exposure is full sun. Observe the light in your chosen spot both morning and afternoon, as the shade from trees or buildings changes throughout the day. Also consider nearby plants: their foliage can obscure a young planting as it grows. For potted plants, place the pot where you can move it if conditions become too hot or too shady. Proper exposure must go hand in hand with suitable soil and watering. If you are moving a plant started indoors outdoors, gradually acclimate it to garden conditions to avoid too abrupt a transition for young leaves.
How do I adjust the 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 water to the base of the plant and let it 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 your care to the plant's cycle: active growth and a resting period do not require the same amount of watering.
What to plan for a container culture?
Container gardening requires planning for the necessary root volume 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 overcrowding the plants to fill the pot immediately. 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 planting directly in the ground. Therefore, plan for a wintering location from the outset that is compatible with the plant's needs and your region's climate.
What aftercare should I plan for after the growing season?
Harvest carefully to avoid damaging the tubers with your tools. Set aside any damaged ones and prioritize consuming potatoes with still-fragile skin. To store a mature harvest, choose a dark, cool, and airy place that protects the tubers from light. The plants sold here are for planting; only harvested, healthy, and non-green tubers should 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.
