GENERAL DESCRIPTION

DESIREE

ALL PLANTS COME WITH AN APHA REGISTERED PLANT PASSPORT. GIVING TO GIVE CONFIDENCE THAT OUR PLANTS ARE AUTHENTIC AND HEALTHY.

IT IS A VARIETAL OF RED-SKINNED POTATO (SOLANUM TUBEROSUM) USUALLY USED FOR MAIN-CROP AND IS HIGHLY PRIZED BY GARDENERS AND ALLOTMENT HOLDERS.

ANOTHER THING THAT MANY PEOPLE LIKE ABOUT THIS POTATO VARIETY IS THAT IT IS A FAIRLY WAXY POTATO, WHICH HAS A LOT OF VERSATILITY IN THE KITCHEN.

THE PLANT IS OF MEDIUM HEIGHT, AND CAN SPRAWL A LITTLE LATER ON IN ITS GROWING CYCLE; THE FLOWERS ARE REDDISH-VIOLET, FADING TO WHITE.

ANOTHER GOOD THING ABOUT DESIREE POTATOES IS THAT THEY HAVE PRETTY GOOD DISEASE RESISTANCE. IS IMMUNE TO PROBLEMS THAT CAN PLAGUE OTHER VARIETIES, SUCH AS POTATO WART AND SKIN SPOT – AND IT ALSO HAS GOOD RESISTANCE AGAINST TUBER LATE BLIGHT.

THE TUBERS THEMSELVES ARE FAIRLY LARGE IF LEFT TO MATURE TO FULL SIZE AS A MAINCROP POTATO, BUT THEY CAN ALSO BE HARVESTED A LITTLE EARLY FOR AN EARLY MAINCROP IF DESIRED.

“DESIREE SEED POTATO” HAS RECEIVED THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY’S AWARD OF GARDEN MERIT (AGM) WHICH IS FOR PLANTS OF OUTSTANDING EXCELLENCE
