If harvested as a second early, ‘International Kidney’ makes a perfect, very waxy, salad potato. Harvested later as an early maincrop, it produces floury, large, general purpose tubers. Height and spread: 60cm (24").

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").

  • 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.
