Organic Vitabella Seed Potatoes

From £7.99

Certified organic Vitabella: an early, firm-cooking yellow potato with excellent flavour, strong foliage and tuber blight resistance, and unusually good storage for a waxy variety.

Categories: , , , , , ,

Description

Vitabella was bred for high-quality fresh eating with the robustness needed for organic systems. It produces attractive oval yellow tubers with yellow flesh and a firm cooking type A texture. The flavour and presentation are both strong, and the tubers store very well for an early variety.

Plantera rates both foliage and tuber late-blight resistance highly and also records 20% dry matter, which helps explain why Vitabella can make good home fries despite its firm cooking texture. This listing is for certified organic seed; the conventional Vitabella listing offers the same genetics in non-organic seed.

Planting & Growing

Chit seed potatoes in a cool, bright, frost-free place if you want to encourage an earlier start. Plant from March into April once soil conditions are suitable.

Plant approximately 10–15cm deep, allowing about 30cm between tubers and around 60cm between rows. Earth up developing shoots to keep tubers covered and maintain an even water supply while tubers are forming.

Variety-specific advice: Plantera advises against planting too early and recommends good soil structure and generous nutrition. Harvest with care, dry promptly and ventilate well in storage.

Harvest: Begin checking from early to mid-summer, depending on planting date and conditions.
