Drought and Slug Resistant Variety

Product Information

A maincrop potato with a very high yield of medium to large shallow eyed potatoes. May be irregular in shape especially in heavy or wet conditions. These potatoes are flesh pale yellow and waxy. Good all round cooking qualities. Rather prone to scab, but this does not badly affect eating or cooking. Good drought and slug resistance make them a popular and successful variety of maincrop potato.

Really happy with the condition of these plants. Healthy and grew really well in new vegetable plot that was not terribly well prepared.

Have had very good yield from Desiree grown in local sandy soil. Good shape, and agree that they are drought and slug resistant. Also, in the event of some blight being found nearby, Desiree was, apparently,unaffected.

Growing Instructions

1. To sprout seed potatoes, place in a light cool area. Protect from frost.
2. Planting can take place as soon as the risk of frost has passed in your area, during spring, March - May. Plant 4.5 in deep in shallow ridges. seed should be 8 - 9 in apart in the row with 2 ft between each row.
3. Earth the plants up when they are 8 in tall. This encourages a higher yield of potatoes.
4. Watering your plants well will improve crop yield and discourage scab from forming.
