Type: Non-GMO
Color: Deep purple skin with vibrant purple flesh
Flavor: Earthy and slightly sweet
Shape: Oval to oblong tubers
Timing: Plant Purple Majesty seed potatoes in early spring, after the last frost. They thrive in cooler temperatures and are one of the earliest crops to plant.
Soil Preparation: Ensure well-drained soil with a pH of 5.0-6.0. Enrich the soil with compost or well-rotted manure to provide essential nutrients.
Planting: Cut seed potatoes into pieces, each with at least one eye. Allow the cut pieces to dry for a day before planting to prevent rot. Plant them 4-6 inches deep and 12 inches apart in rows spaced 30-36 inches apart.
Hilling: As the plants grow, mound soil around the base of the plants to protect the developing tubers from sunlight and to encourage more tuber production.
Watering: Maintain consistent moisture, especially during tuber formation. Potatoes require about 1-2 inches of water per week.
Mulching: Apply mulch to retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
Harvesting: Harvest potatoes when the vines begin to yellow and die back. Carefully dig around the plants to avoid damaging the tubers.
Purple Majesty potatoes are determinate, meaning they have a shorter growing season and tend to produce their harvest all at once. Determinate potatoes grow to a certain height and then stop, focusing their energy on producing tubers.
Determinate potatoes:
Have a defined growth period.
Produce a single harvest.
Require less hilling compared to indeterminate varieties.
