How To Grow
Excellent pest and disease resistance
Our first grade potatoes are certified virus free and have high pest and disease resistance, making them the best way of avoiding potato problems including blight, blackleg and scab. For the best health, harvest when the soil is neither wet nor very hard and dry and store your potatoes in cool, dry conditions.
Water well
Water your potatoes well when planting, then make sure the soil is kept moist but take care not to overwater as this can make the potatoes rot.
Full sun to partial shade
Potatoes need a sunny, sheltered site as the young foliage is susceptible to frost damage in April and May.
Loose, well draining soil
Potatoes grow best in loose, well draining soil (such as sandy loam) and prefer a soil that is slightly acidic (pH 4.8 to 5.4). It is a good idea to add some organic material (such as compost or well rotted manure) to improve the soil quality.
Feed regularly
Using a specialist potato feed will increase your crop - before planting, mix in a handful for each 30-40cm of soil (roughly the area of one plant) After planting, apply more fertilizer every four to six weeks according to the instructions.

Best plants you will ever get online
I have ordered plants from them twice this year. They arrived well packaged, on time and looked strong and healthy. I feel the staff from Roots plants deal with their plants and customers with passion and care. I can’t wait to order again, price is good as well.

John Harris
Satisfied customer
Unlike other online sellers, this company are well ahead in the quality stakes. My plant arrived promptly as per their promise and the plant was much more established and healthy than I had expected. It’s the second time I have ordered from them and I have faith in their promise. Excellent service.

A really good quality tree, delivered on time and very well packaged. But the emailed planting advice and supporting information was what really impressed me. Thoroughly recommended.
