Blue Danube Super Blight Resistant Seed Potatoes (Pack of 8)

Known as the ‘Blue’ Sarpo, this variety is famed for its excellent resistance to the late blight of potato tubers and also its good, general disease resistance, available as a taster pack of 8 tubers. Because of its rapid growth, striking form and “strange” tuber colour, this makes for a great project potato for kids.

Quoted as the best roast potato ever, Blue Danube has a high dry matter content, so is perfect for roasting, chipping and baking. Because of its inbuilt dormancy it can be harvested in autumn and then kept in a cool, dark and frost free place right though until spring without sprouting or softening.
