What You Receive

Seed potatoes for planting, not botanical potato seeds. Choose the weight that fits your garden:

• 1 lb
• 3 lb
• 10 lb
• 25 lbs

Packs are sold by weight. The number and size of tubers may vary; a fixed tuber count is not specified.

Planting Guide

• Prepare the row: Dig a trench approximately 6–8 inches deep.
• Position planting pieces: Place each piece with the eyes pointing upward and the cut side down, if using cut pieces.
• Space plants: Allow approximately 12–15 inches between planting pieces.
• Space rows: Leave approximately 3 feet between rows.
• For smaller harvests: Closer spacing may be used when garden space is limited or when growing baby potatoes.

The trench measurement describes trench preparation, not a requirement to cover each piece with 6–8 inches of soil immediately. Follow any planting instructions supplied with your order and choose planting dates suited to your local conditions.

Plan Your Harvest

Grow Red Pontiac as part of a home vegetable garden, with room to reach the plants for care and harvesting. Choose young potatoes for a new-potato harvest, or allow the crop to develop for a later harvest. Timing and yields depend on climate, planting date, and growing conditions.
