Rooster are ideal for growing in vegetable patches and allotments. They can also be grown in a potato bag on a patio or in a greenhouse, if space is limited. Wait until the stems have died down completely before harvesting.VERSATILE - Rooster potatoes have a distinctly nutty taste with a subtle sweetness and are perfect for boiling, mashing and roasting. They can also be used for baked potatoes and for cutting up for chips. Rooster potatoes keep their red colour even when cooked.HOW TO GROW - These maincrop potatoes should be planted from March to April when the last frost has passed. Plant them at a depth of 10 cm, with 30-40 cm between each potato, and 70-75 cm between each row in a sheltered position that receives full sunlight. They are best planted in moist well draining looming soil but can grow in a variety of other soils types but nothing too heavy. Water the plants well, especially when the weather gets warmer. It's important to build up the soil around the shoots as they appear to protect them from the cold.CARBETH PLANTS - We are a Scottish based company with over 20 years experience in horticulture.
