Maincrop potato varieties occupy the ground longer than other kinds, but produce the heaviest yields, often with very large tubers, perfect for baking.

Solanum tuberosum 'Picasso' bears large, pale coloured tubers with a good flavour. Tubers mature up to three weeks earlier than other maincrop varieties, in early September. It is easy to grow, suiting most soils, and has good pest and diseases resistance. Solanum tuberosum 'Picasso' tubers are ideal for baking and store well.
