A favourite potato for making delicious chips. Maris Piper is a purple flowering main crop potato that has dry, floury tubers with creamy-white flesh.
Introduced in the 1970s, 'Maris Bard' is an established favourite of the British kitchen - a traditional salad variety with a superb taste and texture. It can be planted from February to April and ready to harvest as 'new' potatoes from about 10 weeks after planting. Easy to grow, it is a reliable early cropper with good resistance to drought, pests and diseases - just some of the reasons this super variety has earned its RHS Award of Garden Merit. Fast growing, 'Maris Bard' will produce plentiful crops of consistent size and quality, with a good oval shape and blemish-free, smooth, yellow-white skin with shallow eyes, and white flesh that remains firm during cooking. Its waxy texture is what makes it such a good choice for potato salad - but it also has a soft creaminess that means it is great for boiling, mashing or frying. Plant in fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny, sheltered position, or in large containers or growbags. Water well in dry conditions for optimum cropping. These potatoes are best used fresh from the garden but will keep well for up to 5 days in a cool, dark and dry place. Supplied as a 2.5kg pack of seed potatoes ready to prepare indoors for planting out from February to April. Early plantings will benefit from frost protection.
Probably the best-known variety, 'Maris Piper' is the potato most frequently used in pubs and chips shops throughout the UK - and for good reason! This versatile, all-rounder makes the most delicious crisp and fluffy chips, and its floury texture also means it is a top choice for baking, roasting, mashing and boiling. A worthy recipient of the RHS Award of Garden Merit, this fast-growing maincrop potato is easy to plant and maintain, with good resistance to eelworm. 'Maris Piper' is a tried-and-trusted, dependable variety that will reward with masses of consistently sized, oval tubers that have lovely clean, white skins and delicious creamy-white flesh. Unless you want an early crop, there is no need to chit this maincrop seed potato before planting; just store them in a cool but frost-free, well-ventilated place before planting out in the spring. Plant from March to May into fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny position, or into large containers or grow bags. Your potatoes will be ready to harvest from August to November, generally 17-20 weeks after planting. Once lifted, they will store well through winter in a dark and dry place, preferably in an open tray or crate. Supplied as a 2.5kg bag of seed potatoes (approx. 30-35 tubers) ready for chitting or for storing until planting out in the spring.
