1kg "Kestrel" Seed Potatoes

Upon launching, solanum tuberosum Kestrel potatoes took the exhibition scene by storm due to the distinctive purple eyes on their smooth yellowish skins. Rated as one of the best tasting potato varieties, the Kestrel can be used for a variety of culinary purposes, and is particularly good for roasting and making chips, as the soft flesh does not absorb a lot of fat. Highly resistant to slugs, eelworm, and blackleg, these are all-round great potatoes to grow.

Potatoes are easy to grow. Below we address some common queries:

  • Hardiness: protect the potatoes from frost.
  • Planting In Pots: suitable for growing in planters or bags, but make sure excess water can drain.
  • Position: plant in the sun with partial shade for best results.
  • Soil Types: plant in fertile, well-drained soil.

Soil Preparation: ensure the soil is well-drained and dig in plenty of manure.

Planting Distance: plant seeds around 25cm (10in) apart, around 10cm (4in) deep into the soil. Rows should be around 75cm (2ft 6in) apart.

Pest Control: take precautions against cutworms, slugs, wireworms, and potato cyst eelworms.

Watering Requirements: water regularly, particularly during dry spells.
