Purple Viking Potato
New! 65-80 days. This might be the prettiest Potato ever. Medium-sized, rounded and deep royal purple with rosy pink blotches and streaks, it's an early yielding, all-purpose spud with pure white, slightly moist flesh. It has a a rich, lightly sweet and buttery flavor that many say is even more creamy and delicious than Yukon Gold! The compact plants are prolific and disease-resistant.
One package of 10 mini tubers

We keep our Potatoes at the perfect temperature for long term storage in our warehouse, to keep them dormant for as long as possible before they ship to you with dormant eyes so that any sprouts that might have formed will not break off in transport, using up precious energy from the tuber. Before planting, keep the Potatoes in a cool, lit place (the refrigerator will not do) to further discourage the eyes from sprouting. The eyes will sprout and grow once the Potatoes are planted. The best planting time is two weeks before last frost; if planted too early, the shoots can be damaged by freezing temperatures (although they will usually regrow).
Potatoes like deeply dug, moderately fertile soil which has not been manured for at least one year. Plant tubers in rows 30" apart and spaced 12" apart in the row, 2" to 4" deep. Regularly hill soil up around leaves until mounds are formed. Harvest when tops begin to wilt and Potatoes are small for best flavor. Deer resistant.
Please note: we are not permitted to ship Potatoes to Alaska, Hawaii or Canada.
Your mini-tubers will be shipped to you in the spring at the proper time for planting in your horticultural zone.
