JBA Seed Potatoes - Casablanca - First Early

With harvesting possible in as little as 62 days from planting, the Casablanca seed potato is one of the earliest first early varieties and is a wonderful all-rounder potato in the kitchen; not only perfect for baking, this variety can also be used for boiling, roasting, chipping and mashing.

Casablanca tubers have a smooth white skin which encases the white flesh inside; with a good resistance to common potato diseases, this variety is a great choice for growing in containers where it can produce a medium-sized potato.

Key Information:

• Smooth white tubers with a white flesh
• Good resistance to common potato diseases such as common and powdery scab
• An ideal choice for growing in containers

Advice & Tips:

• Soon after purchasing, empty the seed potatoes into a shallow box, such as an egg box, and store them in a cool area protected from frost.
• Two weeks before planting out, move the seed potatoes to a light area so that they can produce a strong, thick sprout - make sure they are rose eye upwards. When exposed to light, the potatoes will turn green - this is normal.
• When planted into the ground, each potato should be approximately 25cm from the next, with rows spaced approximately 60cm apart. The potatoes should be approximately 15cm into the ground.
