Dark Red Norland Potato - 2 Pound Bag

Days to Maturity: 70 from direct sow (early maturing variety)

Determinate

Dark Red Norland Potato produces heavy yields of top-quality cooking spuds. The extra-large tubers are uniform, having an oval to round, slightly flattened shape; smooth, thin red skins and small shallow to medium eyes (easy for peeling); and fine-quality white flesh. They are excellent boiling potatoes, great for salads, but are quite tasty fried.

Determinate, the plant is compact, with a vining, spreading and slightly erect habit, ideal for small gardens. It is hardy to Zone 2 and disease resistant. It grows best in sandy loam soil that is well-drained. It does not do well in soggy soil. Fertilize at the time of planting and mound soil over plants as they emerge to protect tubers.
