Ulster Prince Seed Potatoes 2kg

Ulster Prince Seed Potatoes are a versatile and reliable first early variety, known for their excellent all-round performance. With smooth, creamy-white skins and firm, floury flesh, these potatoes are ideal for mashing, roasting, or making chips. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or new to growing your own potatoes, Ulster Prince delivers a high yield and great taste.

When to Plant:
Plant Ulster Prince seed potatoes in early to mid-spring, around late March to April, once the risk of frost has passed and the soil has warmed up. Ensure your soil is fertile, well-drained, and slightly acidic for optimal growth. Chit the potatoes before planting by placing them in a light, cool area for a few weeks to encourage sprouting.

When to Feed:
Feed your Ulster Prince potatoes with a general-purpose fertiliser or potato-specific feed. Apply the first feed around 4-6 weeks after planting, followed by a second application when the plants are in flower, to promote strong growth and maximum yield.

When to Harvest:
Ulster Prince potatoes are typically ready for harvest in late summer, around August to September, once the foliage has died back. The skin should be firm and the tubers fully matured.

How to Get the Best Results:
To get the best results, ensure regular watering, especially during dry spells. Keep weeds under control and hill up the soil around the plants to protect the tubers from sunlight and encourage larger yields.
