About This Item

DESCRIPTION
#1 red every year! This large round potato has thin, dark-red skin, deep eyes, and crisp white flesh. Excellent for mashed potatoes and boiling but not for baking. Heat-tolerant, long-storing and high-yielding, it will grow in heavy soil. Well suited for growing in wire cages. One precaution about this variety: the skin is so thin it should be allowed to cure and firm up for a week or two in the ground after the vines die back.

ORDER DEADLINE & PICKUP DETAILS
Seed potato orders are preorder only (January 31st order deadline) for this once-per-year group purchasing event.

We will be able to distribute the seed potatoes to all islands. After the January 31st deadline, we’ll review orders and reach out to you if any alterations are needed (ex. a variety has gone out of stock, or the total amount ordered is insufficient to qualify for wholesale cost).
