Mini Tubers


Potatoes can succumb to devastating diseases such as blight, common scab and potato eelworm. Potato minitubers are micro-propagated in sterile conditions and offer gardeners completely disease-free potato tubers. They will produce normal sized potato tubers once planted. Using this new technology allows us to store heritage varieties long-term and quickly introduce new and old varieties.

Potato Minituber 'Congo'

Solanum tuberosum

  Customer Rating

Maincrop.

Bred before 1895, these cylindrical potatoes have many eyes and very dark purple-blue skins. The flesh of this maincrop variety is blue, intensifying in colour on maturity. Potato ‘Congo’ makes stunning blue chips, or use larger tubers for roasting. A fantastic novelty variety to add colour to any dish! Height and spread: 60cm (24").


These minitubers are micro-propagated in sterile conditions under stringent quality assurance controls to produce completely disease-free potato tubers. Once planted they will grow vigorously and produce good crops of normal sized tubers. This new technology provides secure long term storage of heritage varieties and allows rapid introduction of varieties, old and new.
