Taylors Bulbs - Sarpo Una - Second Early Seed Potatoes

Taylors Bulbs Sarpo Una - Second Early Seed Potatoes

With excellent resistance to blight and virus, this second early potato variety can be grown in pots or potato sacks, making it ideal for grow-your-own gardeners with smaller growing areas. Sarpo Una seed potatoes require moist but well-drained soil for the best growing results, ideally with plenty of compost or rotted manure.

When harvested early, the Sarpo Una variety can make a great addition to salads as a waxy potato. Or, if you choose to leave them in the ground for longer, these potatoes are a wonderful choice for baking with their delicate flavour, white flesh and pink skin. 

Key Information:

• Eight second early seed potatoes
• Grown in Britain
• Planting out should take place as soon as the risk of frost has passed (March onwards)

Advice & Tips:

• Dig over the area you wish to plant your potatoes, removing any weeds.
• Create shallow ridges in the ground approximately 60cm apart, planting the seed potatoes into the ridge approximately 12cm deep and 22cm apart.
• When the plants have grown to approximately 20cm in height, draw soil up around the lower leaves to protect the newly forming potatoes
• For an earlier harvest, potatoes can be chitted before planting - to do this, place the seed potatoes into an open container, such as an egg box, and leave in a light and airy position, protected from frost, to allow the potatoes to grow small shoots. Be careful not to damage the chits when planting into the ground.
