An unusual variety with richly coloured tubers so red they almost look like beetroot. A perfect example of the joy of growing your own, as you will not find anything like it in the supermarket. Great fun to grow alongside your usual choice of varieties, to bring colour and flavour to the dinner table. Boil, mash, roast or steam, cooking then with the skin on will help preserve the most intense colour.

Try something different and create a great talking point at your allotment plots! Heidi Red was bred in Germany and is also know as Heidirot. This bright skinned and red fleshed potato has a delcious taste buttery texture and is simply perfect boiled or steamed and served in salads.
Potatoes are one of the most rewarding vegetables to grow. There's the nurturing process of chitting, planting and earthing-up, the anticipation of a good harvest as you dig through the soil and, of course, the unbeatable taste of fresh, home-grown, potatoes
SOIL PREPARATION:
Choose a place in the garden which has not been used to grow garlic, onions, shallots or leeks for at least two years. The soil should be open, well drained and not have been manured for at least one year.
PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS:
Each potato should be 25cm from the next, with rows spaced 60cm apart. Always make sure the eyes are facing upwards. Drills should be 15cm deep.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
Water well in dry spells.
HARVESTING INSTRUCTIONS:
Harvest June-July. Dig up mature potatoes and store them in a cool, dry and dark location. Potatoes can be stored for several months. Tip: when harvesting, remove all foliage and small potatoes from the soil and discard, to avoid diseases on next year’s crop.
Plant as soon as possible after purchase. Keep in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place until planting. Keep free from frost.
