Specifications

Red Norland's compact plants make it an ideal potato variety for smaller gardens. Enjoy early yields of extra-large tubers with thin red skins and white, fine-quality flesh. The small eyes and thin skins make peeling easy! An excellent potato for boiling and salads.
This early maturing variety is ready in just 70 days! Shows good resistance to bothersome scab. Did you know that Gurney's offers whole seed potatoes? These seed potato sets may be stored several weeks longer prior to planting and will produce up to 20% more than precut potatoes. Potatoes grow best in well-drained, sandy loam soil. Red Norland Potato does not do well in soggy soil.
