Caribe is an early-maturing potato variety with striking purple skin and creamy white flesh. It delivers excellent yields even in cool soil conditions and is known for its smooth texture, making it perfect for boiling, mashing, and roasting.

To grow your Caribe potatoes successfully, here are some guidelines for care:

• Plant in well-drained, loose soil after danger of frost has passed
• Hill soil around plants as they grow to protect developing tubers
• Water consistently (especially during flowering and tuber development)
• Fertilize at planting and again mid-season (use a balanced, low-nitrogen fertilizer)
• Harvest early, about 70–80 days after planting
• Excellent early variety for fresh eating
• Stores moderately well
• Shows some resistance to disease and scab
