  • KING EDWARD MAINCROP SEED POTATOES: As a versatile maincrop (bigger potatoes that take longer to mature), King Edward potatoes can be grown in July – September, with traditional potato planting time being March – April, which also suits King Edward potatoes. Harvest this maincrop after 15 – 22 weeks for best results. King Edward potatoes are a Heritage variety and one of the most long-standing maincrops, grown for their versatility in cooking and quality in taste.
  • PERFECT FOR BOILING, CHIPPING, MASHING & MAKING ROAST POTATOES: Potatoes are a wonderful staple in our diets, but the variety really does make all the difference. The King Edward potato is a light-skinned maincrop with white flesh. Around for over 100 years, the King Edward potato is a classic variety for roasties, mashed potatoes and French fries, wedges or chips.
  • EASY TO PLANT: When planting in the ground, set your tubers 10 inches apart so they have space to grow; for planting in limited outdoor space at home, put 3 tubers in a 45-litre planting bag. Maincrop varieties benefit from a nitrogenous fertiliser when you dig them up for the second time. Choose a place in the garden which has not been used to grow garlic, onions, shallots or leeks for at least two years. The soil should be well drained and not have been manured for at least one year.
  • SEED POTATOES FROM THE SEED POTATO EXPERTS: Before planting your seed potatoes, we recommend “chitting” – allowing the potatoes to sprout – 6 weeks beforehand. Once your tubers have started to sprout, they are ready to be planted ahead of a delicious harvest. Keep your seed potatoes out of extreme weather conditions and temperature changes prior to planting to ensure strong potatoes. Dunk each tuber in water prior to planting.
  • FROM THE GROUND UPWARDS – SEED POTATOES GROWN IN SCOTLAND SINCE 1895: Jamieson Brothers were established in 1895 where we began selling our potatoes in 50kg bags on a horse and cart. Our seed potatoes are UK grown and still hand sorted in Scotland. From seed to plate, Jamieson Brothers sees the seed potatoes through the entire harvest. We ship to your doorstep so you can enjoy growing seed potatoes in your home, allotment, or farm.
