Seed Potato King Edward

Garden Centre > Seeds & Bulbs > Vegetable seeds & Bulbs > Potatoes

The Coronation of King Edward VII in 1902 coincided with the introduction of this variety of potato and its name is believed to originate as a commemoration of this occasion. Kind Edward is an old but still very popular variety of maincrop seed potato. It is very much a floury variety which makes King Edward great for smooth creamy mash fluffy roast potatoes or even chips. This is a main crop variety and has a white skin with distinctive pink splashes making it an easy potato to identify.
Main Crop potatoes such as this can be planted in the south (of the UK) during the first half of April; further north by late April - the actual time will depend on weather conditions. These potatoes should be planted in rows allowing about 40cm between tubers and 75cm between rows. The time between planting and lifting should be about 15 weeks and remember these give a heavier crop than the Earlies.
