Maris Peer Seed Potatoes – High Yielding and Disease Resistant

Maris Peer Seed Potatoes are a second early variety, well-known for their high yield, strong disease resistance, and versatility in the kitchen. Producing tall plants adorned with beautiful purple flowers, Maris Peer offers oval-shaped tubers with firm, creamy-coloured flesh and white skin. This variety is ideal for second cropping, allowing you to harvest fresh potatoes as late as Christmas. Maris Peer is resistant to all common skin diseases, making it a popular choice for both home gardeners and organic systems.

Key Features:

  • Second Early Variety: Ready for harvest between July and September, approximately 13-15 weeks after planting.

Planting and Growing:

  • Sowing Depth: Plant 15cm deep, with 30cm between tubers and 70cm between rows.
