Sarpo potatoes have been bred to withstand the fungal infection potato blight, plus a variety of other diseases. There's a number of different cultivars, including first and second earlies, and maincrop potatoes.

Solanum tuberosum 'Sarpo Una' is a second early waxy potato with a delicate flavour, white flesh and good resistance to late blight. It's perfect for growing in containers or sacks, and will produce high yields if harvested as a maincrop. Use it as a salad potato or save large tubers for baking.

For best results grow Solanum tuberosum 'Sarpo Una' in moist but well-drained soil incorporated with plenty of compost or rotted manure. Water the tubers thoroughly two weeks before lifting.
