Description
- This heirloom French variety dates back to 1850 and produces long, knobbly shaped potatoes with pinkish skin and waxy, yellowish flesh. The shape of them means they can’t be peeled – that’s my excuse, anyway…
- Maincrop potatoes are grown to maturity for eating straight away or storing over the winter. They are harvested from September to October
- Grow in open ground, traditional potato sacks or pots at least 45cm wide and deep (two plants per pot)
- RHS Award of Garden Merit winner
- Very strong growing potatoes that prefer cooler areas of the UK
- Premium, UK grown first grade seed potatoes sent to you at the best possible time for planting. Always use the highest grade of seed potatoes to ensure a plentiful crop with high pest and disease resistance
- A cool looking salad potato which is also good for roasting and dauphinoise
