Potato 'Heritage Collection'
Solanum tuberosum
First early, second early, early maincrop, maincrop. These five heritage varieties, all dating from before the 1950’s, have survived in enthusiasts’ collections over many years. T&M has previously sold these as microplants and minitubers, however we are delighted to be able to offer these now as regular seed potatoes. Height and spread: 60cm (24").

- Potato ‘Highland Burgundy Red’ (maincrop) - Burgundy red flesh, with a fluffy texture and delicious sweet flavour. An excellent general purpose potato that retains its colour well if steamed rather than boiled.
- Potato ‘Belle de Fontenay’ (early maincrop) - This pre-1950's first early variety, produces beautiful pale yellow tubers with a notably firm, waxy texture, making it an excellent salad potato.
- Potato ‘Arran Pilot' (first early) - A traditional favourite with white flesh, a firm waxy texture and a pleasing flavour.
- Potato 'Shetland Black' (second early) - Shallow eyed tubers with dark blue to almost black skin, and pale yellow floury flesh with a distinctive purple vascular ring.
- Potato 'Salad Blue' (early maincrop) - Contrary to its name, the spectacular blue, floury flesh, of this unusual coloured potato is best suited to baking, roasting, mash, boiling or chips.
