Potato 'Heritage Collection'

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").


  • Collection comprises:
  • 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.
