Description

Seed Potato - King Edward

Solanum tuberosum

Please note that the seed potatoes are sold as whole and may or may not have shoots - Supplied as dormant tubers. They are also an indeterminate variety. To ensure the longevity of the seed potato, store it within the 0-5°C range.

The delightful 'King Edward' is an heirloom potato from 1902. Formerly known as 'Fellside Hero,' it was renamed in honor of the impending coronation of the King. With its white skin adorned with rosy eyes, this beloved potato boasts a creamy, luscious flesh. It is perfectly suited for a variety of culinary delights, such as roasting, making chips, and even creating delectable mash. Whether consumed freshly dug from the earth or stored for up to two months, this mid-late season potato will surely impress. It should be noted that 'King Edward' is an indeterminate variety. 

Seed potatoes undergo controlled field conditions to ensure they are authentic and free from disease, promoting robust plant growth and increased yield. It is recommended to plant them after frost season in a well-lit and warm space for a few weeks to encourage short, thick sprouts. Before planting, cut tubers with at least one or two noticeable eyes, but be sure to allow the cut portions to dry, preventing the risk of rot. It is important not to make the pieces too small as it can decrease yield.

Cover tubers 15 cm deep with well-prepared soil or mulch (25-30 cm). Harvest them when the foliage turns yellow and stops growing, usually 110-130 days after planting. Early harvests may be taken as soon as small baby potatoes are ready to use, but bear in mind that this may reduce the yield of larger potatoes.

Order delivered quickly without any fuss!

I ordered initially two types of seed potatoes, Kennebec and King Edward. I also ordered a bit later some Pink Eye seed potatoes. Both orders arrived quickly with the crew at Happy Valley Seeds keeping me informed at all times. I can’t praise these guys enough for their exceptional service! I currently have the 3 types of potato in various stage of growing.
