Potato 'British Queen'

Solanum tuberosum

 Customer Rating

Second early.

This RHS AGM variety is over 100 years old and still highly prized for its yield, shape, floury texture and delicious flavour. Today, Potato ‘British Queen’ is Ireland's favourite summer crop. The oval, white skinned, floury-fleshed tubers make excellent general purpose potatoes and are particularly good for roasting. Height and spread: 60cm (24").

Potato 'Saxon' - Part of the Alan Romans Collection

Solanum tuberosum

 
  • NEW in 2013

Second early.

After hearing me decry modern varieties for lack of flavour, one of the promoters insisted I tried ‘Saxon’. It is very pleasant and creamy. I ate my words (as well!). It is an attractive, high yielding, disease resistant, general purpose variety from PBI (now Cygnet PB). To avoid gaps, ‘Saxon’ needs to be planted in mild conditions. Height and spread: 60cm (24").
