Anya is a scrumptious salad potato from the Albert Bartlett range. Top-chefs love it for its simply wonderful flavour. It is perfect for salads on a warm summer's evening - simply boil your potatoes up and add a knob of butter and some freshly chopped chives - yummy! So good, it has won awards - Albert Bartlett Anya is very easy to grow and is loved by gardeners of all abilities. Now you can grow your own too - even in pots on your patio. You'll be picking the attractive long, pink potatoes around eight weeks after planting.
Probably the "Number 1" new potato variety grown in UK gardens, it's not hard to see why Charlotte is so popular. It produces great yields of delicious, medium-sized tubers that are perfect in potato salads, hot or cold, or as boiled new potatoes dripping in melted butter - scrumptious! Very easy to grow - either in patio pots and planters or straight in your garden soil - Charlotte has good resistance to blight and scab, so you'll get consistent crops of delicious spuds!
'Jazzy' is a fairly new variety that is quickly establishing itself as a British favourite - both in the garden and in the kitchen! This easy-to-grow second early potato is extremely productive, with huge harvests of up to 35-50 or more evenly sized tubers from each plant. These lovely small potatoes have a consistently good oval shape with thin, creamy white skins and shallow eyes, as well as tender white flesh that simply bursts with flavour. Their waxy texture remains firm during cooking, making them a perfect choice for potato salad, but also great for boiling, roasting, steaming, crushing or mashing. There is absolutely no need to peel them unless you are using them for mash. A worthy recipient of the RHS Award of Garden Merit, 'Jazzy' has good resistance to disease and its compact habit means it will tolerate fairly exposed positions. Once the seed potatoes have produced shoots or chits, they will be ready to plant directly into a prepared bed or large bags or containers from mid-March, preferably after the frosts have gone. Young potatoes can be harvested from 13-17 weeks after planting. If not harvesting them all as second early crops, 'Jazzy' will keep well in the soil, developing into larger tubers of a quality maincrop character. Supplied as a 2.5kg bag of seed potatoes (approx. 30-35 tubers) ready to prepare indoors for planting out in the spring.
'Pink Fir Apple' is an unusual variety. This easy-to-grow second early potato is extremely productive, with huge harvests of up to 35-40 or more evenly sized tubers from each plant. These lovely potatoes have an unusual elongated shape with pink skins and tender creamy yellow flesh and a nutty flavour. Their waxy texture remains firm during cooking, making them a perfect choice for potato salad, but also great for boiling and chipping. There is absolutely no need to peel them unless you are using them for mash. A worthy recipient of the RHS Award of Garden Merit, 'Pink Fir Apple' has good resistance to disease and its compact habit means it will tolerate fairly exposed positions.

This is a great little collection to fill those awkward spots most gardens have. Tolerating quite a bit of shade (or full sun), as well as most types of soils, these fab new little groundcover roses really are so versatile and easy to grow. From the newest of breeding, they are classified as 'Multiflora', meaning they produce hundreds of smaller flowers in summer and autumn, creating an absolute feast for the eyes whilst filling in all those gaps in beds and borders. Tried and tested in commercial landscape plantings, where they get almost no maintenance or help, they form neat mounds of flowers, and have good disease resistance, so really are easy to care for. One trim back hard each spring before they start growing really is all they need, plus a couple of feeds a year. Simple! Supplied as established plants in 9cm pots, well-branched, they can be planted out any week of the year you can get a spade in the ground! In this Fruity Collection, you get one each of: 'Giulietta' - lovely pale primrose yellow 'Baby Masquerade' - lovely peach melba two tone flowers 'Perle d'Alcanade' - cerise berry red
