Potato 'Heritage Collection' - 40 tubers - 10 of each variety

Second early, early maincrop, maincrop.These four heritage varieties, all dating from before the 1950’s, have survived in enthusiasts’ collections over many years. T&M has previously sold these as microplants and minitubers, however we are delighted to be able to offer these now as regular seed potatoes. Height and spread: 60cm (24").Collection comprises: Potato ‘Highland Burgundy Red’ (maincrop) - Burgundy red flesh, with a fluffy texture and delicious sweet flavour. An excellent general purpose potato that retains its colour well if steamed rather than boiled. Potato ‘Mr Little's Yetholm Gypsy’ (early maincrop) - Kept going by the Little family of Yetholm, the only known variety to show red, white and blue colours together in the skin. The flesh is cream, fairly dry and tasty, and suitable for baking, roasting, mash, boiling, or chips. Potato 'Shetland Black' (second early) - Shallow eyed tubers with dark blue to almost black skin, and pale yellow floury flesh with a distinctive purple vascular ring. A Victorian general purpose variety for baking, roasting or steaming. Potato 'Salad Blue' (early maincrop) - A vigorous maincrop variety with attractive blue/ purple flowers. Contrary to its name, the spectacular blue, floury flesh, of this unusual coloured potato is best suited to baking, roasting, mash, boiling or chips.Useful links:How to grow potatoes in the ground Potato Selector GuideHow to grow potatoes in bags     How to stop blight
