An extremely popular variety this red potato is an all-rounder is suitable for boiling, chipping and roasting. Easily distinguished by its red skin and shallow eyes, this produces oval tubers with pale yellow, dry, floury flesh.Plant maincrop potatoes from March. Prior to planting, ‘chit’ the seed potatoes by setting them out in a cool, bright position (10C/ 50F) to allow them to sprout. When growing maincrop potatoes in the ground avoid planting in soil where potatoes have grown for two years in succession to reduce the risk of disease. Prepare the planting area in a sheltered position in full sun on moist well drained soil. Dig in plenty of well rotted manure. Plant potatoes in rows at a spacing of 45cm (18"). Rows should be set out 75cm (2’, 6") apart. Place the seed potatoes into 10cm (4") deep trenches and backfill the soil to refill the trenches. When shoots reach 20cm (8"), mound up soil around the shoots leaving just a few cm showing. Repeat this process after a further 3 weeks. Where space is limited, try growing potatoes in potato bags on the patio. Fill the potato bags by one third with good quality compost mixed with some well rotted manure. Space 3 seed potatoes in each bag on top of the compost. Fill the bags by another third and place 2 more seed potatoes on top of the compost. Finally cover them with more compost until the bags are full. Place the bags in a sunny position and water regularly to keep the compost moist.Product Specifications: Position: containers and potato bagsHeight: Up to 60cm (24in)Spread: Up to 60cm (24in)Potato ‘Rooster’ (Solanum Tuberosum)(Albert Bartlett Rooster Potatoes) 2kgDelivered with growing and care instructionsImages shown are for guidance only of the expected results from plants upon maturity.
