Seed Potato ‘Charlotte’ – 1kg
- Home grower’s favourite
- Good-sized salad type
- Used at top tables
- Second Early Potatoes
‘Charlotte’ is a firm favourite among home growers and is ideal for salads. It’s loved for its excellent uniform shallow-eyed, long-oval tubers which can grow up to 50% bigger than other salad varieties. It is a versatile choice for the kitchen, with its tender, creamy-yellow flesh remaining very firm with a mouth-watering texture whether hot or in salads.
We recommend growing this variety in trenches if you have an allotment, or if short of space in a gro-sack which can be positioned in sunny patios near the house. ‘Charlotte’ is a high yielding crop that will be ready from June. With blight resistance, and not particularly attractive to slugs, this variety is a great selection for organic growers who want to avoid using chemicals.
Seed Potatoes
All our seed potatoes are graded to a size 35mm x 35mm to 55mm x 55mm. This means that the smallest seed potatoes in the sample will not fall through an 35mm square. This does mean there will be various sizes within the pack. More modern varieties are more equal in size but as we want to offer the more unusual and Heritage varieties, these are more variable but we will always supply the weight stated. Any harvest will depend on individual growing conditions but generally smaller potatoes will produce smaller crops and larger potatoes will produce larger crops. But for example 1kg of seed potatoes will produce the same overall harvest whether the seed potatoes are small or large.
