‘Papas’ produces imperfectly shaped tubers with a red-purple coloured skin in floods, that taste delicious either baked, roasted or sauteed. When blackened from frost and harvest, just simply cut back the stems down at ground level, allowing them to grow back year after year producing even better harvests. A very rewarding Jerusalem Artichoke to grow. Height: 3m (10′). Spread: 90cm (36″).
Growing Information
Grow plugs on in cool but frost-free conditions and plant out when all danger of frost has passed.
Plant 30cm (12″) apart, leave 90cm (3′) between rows. Simply cut the stems down when they have been blackened by the frost and harvest. Leave some tubers in the ground for next years harvest.
