The Yukon Gold Potato (Solanum tuberosum 'Yukon Gold') is an early-season golden yellow-skinned potato with nearly eye-free skin. Great for growing in short-season areas. Yukon Gold Potatoes are buttery, creamy yellow, rich finely textured, dry yellow flesh.

Yukon are good for all types of recipes and also store well. You don't need a lot of space to grow your own potatoes and you can even get a great crop by planting in a grow bag or large planter, Hügelkultur, or raised bed.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Potatoes need full sun and rich, slightly acidic well-drained soil that isn't compacted or rocky. Provide regular moderate moisture throughout the growing season. Keep a 3-4 inch deep layer of compost/mulch over the soil surface.

Plant seed potatoes 2-4 weeks after your area's last frost date and harvest the first baby potatoes when the flowers bloom, or wait until your crop is mature.
