Description

This early potato is floury and belongs to the early table potatoes. It is round-oval and yellow-fleshed. It can only be stored for a short time and should be eaten as soon as possible. As it has a thin skin, this can also be eaten. A floury potato such as the Filou contains a lot of starch, making it ideal for purees and soups. But it is also a great product for thickening any vegetable soup.

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.
