Description

Ballerina's uniform, oval, yellow tubers are ideal for processing, do not disintegrate during cooking and taste particularly good as boiled or fried potatoes and, of course, as a classic potato salad. The smooth skin with flat eyes is easy to peel. This potato is characterized by very good cooking quality, early skin firmness, very good storability and a low tendency to black spotting. 35-55 mm, early, waxy.

Non hybrid

Not frost resistant

Growing tips

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.
