Lunarossa is a new beautiful red skinned variety with a nice presentation. The shallow eyes and oval tubers make the variety suitable for washing and packing for the consumption market.
The cooking quality is very good, and the variety works very well as baked or mashed potatoes due to its waxy texture and excellent taste it has. Lunarossa provides nice tubers and high yield on clay soil but is also a success on sandy soil due to the strong resistance against internal defects.
Please note: We are not Soil Association approved.
Lunarossa is highly regarded for its striking, smooth red skin, contrasting vibrant yellow flesh, and excellent culinary profile, making it a top alternative to hard-to-find red varieties like Shannon
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.
