Second Cropping Seed Potatoes

With D.T. Brown’s enormously popular second cropping seed potatoes, summer’s delicious bounty can last just that little bit longer. Our fantastic selection of second croppers allows you to continue enjoying fresh, home-grown new potatoes well into the cooler months.

Second cropping seed potatoes are not special breeds or modifications on standard varieties. Rather, they are first or second early seed potatoes that have been cold-stored by our expert growers to prevent them from sprouting prematurely. Once removed from storage, they’ll quickly develop strong, healthy chits, ready for planting in summer for a delicious autumn harvest. Our second cropping seed potatoes will be dispatched from mid-July.

Grow Your Own Second Cropping Potatoes

Second cropping seed potatoes are ideal for home gardeners who want to grow new potatoes later in the year. Planted from late June through July, second croppers begin to mature from 13 weeks, giving you a second wave of freshly dug new potatoes from October onwards. Their arrival is perfectly timed for warming autumn and winter dishes, like steaming hot potato stews, soups, and gratins.

Our second cropping seed potato collection comprises some of our most popular first and second early seed potatoes, noted for their waxy flesh and reliable crops. Stored in carefully climate-controlled conditions, they’ll stay dormant until despatched in time for mid-summer planting.

Among our range, you’ll find customer favourites like the tasty Maris Peer, treasured for its firm, creamy texture. Another classic is the Charlotte, an excellent thin-skinned salad potato with good disease resistance.
