Solanum tuberosum 'Lady Christl' is a fairly recent introduction, bearing high, early yields of waxy tubers with glossy skin and a fantastic flavour. The tubers are perfect for boiling and using as new potatoes or in salads.
Grow Solanum tuberosum 'Lady Christl' in moist but well-drained soil in full sun. For best results dig over the soil well and incorporate plenty of compost or rotted manure before planting. Water the tubers thoroughly two weeks before lifting.
