Whether you're growing in the kitchen garden, on the allotment or in containers, this collection provides an extended harvest season along with a fantastic range of culinary uses. Supplied as 6 Potted Plants, 1 of each variety.

This collection includes:

• Potato Sarpo Axona (Late Maincrop Seed Potato)
  Producing heavy crops of large, pink-skinned tubers with creamy white flesh, this dependable late maincrop delivers excellent flavour and is particularly suited to baking delicious fluffy jacket potatoes.
• Potato Sarpo Mira (Maincrop Seed Potato)
  Renowned for exceptional blight resistance, this Hungarian-bred variety produces generous crops of floury potatoes that are ideal for roasting, baking, mashing and chipping, while also offering excellent drought tolerance and winter storage.
• Potato Sarpo Una (Second Early Seed Potato)
  Ready to harvest from as early as mid-June, this versatile second early produces attractive pink-skinned, waxy potatoes that are perfect for salads, while later harvests also make excellent baking potatoes.

Carefully selected to provide outstanding disease resistance and dependable crops, these Sarpo varieties are easy to grow and reward gardeners with exceptional home-grown flavour. Chitting is recommended for the second early variety to encourage quicker establishment, while the maincrop varieties can also be chitted to help produce an earlier harvest. Place the tubers with the blunt end facing upwards in an old egg box until sturdy shoots reach approximately 1-1.5cm (½-1in) before planting.

Maincrop Seed Potatoes
Plant chitted tubers from mid-April and start harvesting two weeks after the tops have died down, from late August through until October. All these varieties store well throughout the winter using our heavy duty potato sacks in a dark, airy frost-free place.
