There's something especially satisfying about digging up your own potatoes, and our Seed Potato Collection makes it easy to get started. Whether you're planting an allotment, vegetable patch, raised bed or a few potato grow bags on the patio, there's a variety to suit almost every space and taste.
Choose from a fantastic selection including Charlotte, Rooster, Golden Wonder, Nicola, Caledonian Rose, Organic Colleen, International Kidney, Pentland Dell, Organic Bambino, Organic Sarpo Mira, Swift, Pentland Javelin, Maris Piper and Arran Pilot, along with mixed variety options.
From waxy salad potatoes to fluffy varieties perfect for roasting, chips and mash, our range includes first early, second early and maincrop potatoes. Growing them at home is straightforward too – plant your seed potatoes in a sunny position, keep them watered during dry spells and earth up the shoots as they grow.
Ideal for beginners and experienced vegetable growers alike, seed potatoes are an easy and rewarding way to grow fresh produce at home.

Watering Keep the soil evenly moist as the plants establish, then water more generously once tubers begin to form. Aim for consistent moisture rather than alternating between very dry and very wet conditions, which can affect tuber quality. Reduce watering as the foliage yellows and the crop approaches harvest.
Best Growing Conditions Grow in sun or partial shade in fertile, well-drained loam, enriched with organic matter where appropriate. Choose an open position with good airflow and enough space for the crop to mature without excessive competition. Protect tender crops from late frost and cold winds, and use greenhouse or sheltered growing conditions where the variety requires extra warmth.
