Potato Clancy Hybrid Care Guide

Introduction

Potato Clancy Hybrid (Solanum tuberosum) is a compact, early-maturing potato variety ideal for containers and small gardens. It produces smooth, round, yellow-fleshed tubers with excellent flavor. Moderate cool-season crop for Florida's fall and spring seasons.

Care requirements

Light: Full sun, 6+ hours daily. Water: Moderate; keep soil evenly moist, reduce as tops die back. Soil: Loose, well-draining, fertile soil. Hill soil up around stems as plants grow. Fertilizer: Balanced fertilizer at planting; avoid high nitrogen once tubers form. Season: Cool-season; plant in fall or early spring in Florida.

Planting tips

Plant seed potatoes or cut pieces with at least one eye. Space 12 inches apart. Hill soil up around stems to prevent tubers from greening. Harvest when tops die back completely.

Pet safety

Green potato flesh and leaves contain solanine and are toxic to pets. Keep pets away from plants and green tubers.
