Potato Sarpo Axona (Late Maincrop Seed Potato) is a sister variety to the hugely successful Sarpo Mira, introduced in 2005, combining outstanding blight resistance with heavy, reliable harvests. Attractive pink-skinned tubers with creamy white flesh develop into large, regular-shaped potatoes with excellent flavour, making them ideal for everything from family meals to perfectly fluffy jacket potatoes. Supplied as 1kg (approx. 8-14 tubers).

Growing your own potatoes is one of the most enjoyable ways to create fresh harvests to share throughout the season. From chitting and planting to lifting your own crop, every stage brings the satisfaction of home-grown produce with unbeatable flavour. All potatoes, apart from maincrop varieties, benefit from chitting before planting. Simply stand the tubers with the blunt end facing upwards in an old egg box until sturdy shoots reach approximately 1-1.5cm (½-1in), helping plants establish quickly and produce even better crops.

Maincrop Seed Potatoes
Plant chitted tubers from mid-April and start harvesting two weeks after the tops have died down, from late August through until October. All these varieties store well throughout the winter using our heavy duty potato sacks in a dark, airy frost-free place.
