Potato Duke of York (First Early Seed Potato)

The Duke of York seed potato is a heritage first early seed potato that has been highly prized since its establishment in 1891. A traditional favourite for many gardeners, this iconic potato was unavailable to us for several years. Now, the Duke of York is firmly back in our range where it belongs.

The beloved Duke of York potato seed produces pale yellow tubers with an exceptionally rich flavour. These waxy seed potatoes are great for boiling straight from harvest as a new potato – delicious with a sprig of mint. You can also try leaving a few roots in the ground to develop into a quality general-purpose option.

To maximise your Duke of York potato harvest, we recommend chitting prior to planting out. This process encourages seed potatoes to sprout, allowing them to establish more readily and leading to bigger crops. Simply place them in an old egg box, blunt end up, until the shoots are approximately 1 ½ to 2½ cm (½ to 1in) long.

With its outstanding flavour and reliability, the Duke of York seed potato is a must-have in your garden. Order yours from D.T. Brown Seeds today - 100% satisfaction guaranteed.
