We will dispatch Seed Potatoes and accessories on a week to suit you in the Spring at no extra charge.
Prices include UK delivery with very few exceptions.
Orders will be dispatched within 4 days then will take 4-5 days to get to you. But this can be longer especially if we have any industrial action.
If you want a specific week, let us know at checkout box. We recommend that you get your potatoes in plenty of time to chit. If you plan to plant in March, we would suggest delivery in late January/February to give 4-6 weeks chitting, if you plan to plant in April, a late February/March date would suit. OVER 98% success rate last year!
Do not ask for delivery too early 4-6 weeks before planting is best.
After delivery it is YOUR responsibility to store the seed potatoes in the correct manner. We have a FREE DELAYED DELIVERY service for our customers and STRONGLY recommend that you if you do not have the correct conditions to store the seed potatoes it would be better to ask for delivery 4-6 weeks before you intend to plant. Seed Potatoes are a natural product and will deteriorate if not stored correctly.
For the vast majority of orders, we do not charge a surcharge for Scottish Highlands and Islands and other remote areas. However, we reserve the right to contact you if we can't get a viable rate. Unfortunately, for large or extremely remote orders, it is likely that we will need to pass on some haulage charge. Please see FAQ for full details

Highland Burgundy is one of my all time favourites. It goes a very deep blood red.
When you cook it, it actually gets redder. Young potatoes are reddest, and most delicious. But the mature tubers can also be blood red all the way through, with the white outer ring being almost imperceptible. The taste is good. Not as strong as some potatoes. Its a more subtle, delicate flavour. Very earthy. Where Highland Burgundy really excels in the eating, is its texture. Its the softest potato I know. It almost melts itself when its cooked, like butter. Make it into mashed potato with butter, and you’re looking at a very creamy dish indeed. Or very fluffy, deep red, delicate tasting roasties.
The drawback to Highland Burgundy, is there’s no such thing as a free lunch. If you don’t grow it in perfect potato conditions, then it won’t produce. Its infamously low yielding. I’ve found that if you grow it with too many nutrients, it doesn’t go red! If you grow it too wet, it goes so scabby the tubers are entirely scabbed all over. Grow it with not enough nutrients, and a bizarre thing happens… a mini potato will appear at the base of the leaf branches, and a shoot will come out of it. Looke like a potato tree. Basically, you’ve GOT to get this one just right. Very loose, fluffy, but very well draining soil, with not too much manure. But some manure. Never known a pickier one. Also, it grows more like a weedy vine than a potato plant. Hard to get any light to them, if you grow them next to anything else tall.
But if you get it right, boy are you in for a treat. Its worth it. The eating is superb.
