Solanum tuberosum 'Orla'

Salad potatoes have grown in popularity in recent years, thanks to their delicious flavour and waxy texture. Solanum tuberosum 'Orla' is a blight-resistant salad potato, showing good resistance in both its leaves and tubers. The tubers have a cream skin and pale yellow flesh. Although it's a first early variety, it can also be grown as a second early and early maincrop.

For best results dig over the soil well and incorporate plenty of compost or rotted manure before planting. Water the tubers thoroughly two weeks before lifting. Solanum tuberosum 'Orla' potatoes are delicious boiled or steamed.
