Description

Dutch firstlings are very early table potatoes with a high tuber set. The Dutch variety is characterized by a very fine aroma. They have yellow flesh and are predominantly waxy. This variety is ideal as a boiled potato, baked potato and jacket potato as well as for making potato salad and gratin. Short shelf life.

Non hybrid

Frostproof

Growing tips

The plants are particularly suitable for very early cultivation if pre-germinated. Harvest from approx. 10 weeks after planting (from the beginning of June to August). The potato is a heavy feeder and prefers deep, nutrient-rich soil without waterlogging in a temperate, sunny climate. Seed potatoes should be sprouted approx. 4 weeks before the planting date, e.g. in an egg box in a bright place without direct sunlight. You should keep the seed potatoes warm until they sprout, after which they can continue to sprout in a cooler place. This sequence encourages the formation of many large potatoes. As soon as tubers begin to form, the potato plants need plenty of water. However, waterlogging should be avoided at all costs. Mounding up soil around the plants several times during tuber formation ensures that more tubers can form.
