2kg "Kestrel" Seed Potatoes

Rated as one of the best tasting potato varieties, the solanum tuberosum Kestrel potato are easily recognised by the distinctive purple eyes on their yellowish skins. A good all-rounder in the kitchen, the Kestrel can be used in a variety of potato dishes, and is particularly good for roasting and making chips as their flesh does not absorb a lot of fat. These potatoes have a good resistance to slugs, eelworm, and blackleg.

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

  • Hardiness: protect the potatoes from the 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.
