If you're seeking the earliest and most bountiful potato harvest, look no further than our high-quality rocket seed potato. This vigorous extra early seed potato boasts remarkably speedy growth and excellent heavy-yielding crops, delivering an abundance of round, white-fleshed tubers.
Rockets are prized for their firm, waxy texture, uniform shape and delightfully creamy flavour. These versatile potatoes are delicious in salads or simply boiled and served with a knob of butter. They're best enjoyed as soon as possible after lifting.
As a disease-resistant potato variety, rocket seed potatoes are ideal for beginner gardeners as well as exhibiting at shows. They’re known for being one of the ‘earliest earlies’ available – after planting in March, they’ll often crop as early as the first week of June.
To maximise your Rocket 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.

Before growing, you should be sure to chit your potatoes. This is done by placing your seed potatoes in egg boxes in a cool, bright spot with the blunt end up, and allowing shoots to develop until approximately 1 ½ to 2½ cm (½ to 1in) long.
After chitting, plant your Potato Rocket seed potatoes in a sunny spot with well-drained soil and added fertiliser or well-rotted manure. This should be in an area you haven't grown potatoes in within two years to prevent disease.
Plant your seed potatoes in trenches 4-6in (10-15cm) deep, backfilling soil once planted. They should be spaced 14in (35cm) apart, with rows 18in (45cm) apart. Mound up the soil around the stems as they grow to prevent your potatoes from turning green, and water your plants well during dry spells.
Your potatoes will be ready for harvest when flowers first start to form, which should be around June or July.
For further information on growing potatoes, be sure to read our guide on how to grow potatoes.
Potato Rocket is a first-early variety, meaning that they will be one of the fastest types to crop, being ready around late spring or early summer.
You can expect Potato Rocket plants to be ready for harvest around 10 to 12 weeks after planting, being a fast-growing variety for an early harvest.
