Caledonian Pearl stands out as a recent addition, boasting high yields and a robust, easy-to-cultivate nature. Featuring yellow-skinned tubers that mature swiftly, these potatoes are ideal for early harvesting, offering a waxy flesh that makes them perfect for salads.
Beyond their salad appeal, Caledonian Pearl presents a delightful flavour and is versatile enough for steaming and boiling. Moreover, this variety is well-suited for cultivation in smaller outdoor spaces, adding to its adaptability.

Planting
After purchase, carefully empty seed potato contents into shallow boxes or trays. Egg boxes or apple trays are ideal. Protect from frost and store in a cool area. Two weeks before you want to plant your potatoes, you should move them into a light area of about 10°C to produce a strong, thick sprout and make sure they are rose eye upwards. The potatoes will turn green when exposed to the light, but do not worry, as this is normal.
Your potatoes should be planted in drills that are 24′′ (60cm) apart in each row. The potatoes should be planted 10″ (25cm) apart from each other in your drills. Always make sure the eyes are facing upwards and planted at a depth of between 4-6″ (10-15cm).

Harvest Time; 10-12 Weeks
Harvest; June – July
Please note: Harvest times are subject to weather and climate. Harvest fully mature potatoes and store them in a cool, dry, and dark place to ensure their longevity, with the potential for storage lasting several months. A helpful tip during harvesting is to eliminate all foliage and small potatoes from the soil, discarding them to prevent diseases from affecting the next year’s crop.

I have just bought all my new seeds for next year’s vegetables after having such great results this year. Budget seeds are so helpful, I’m a newbie in the veg growing world and they have been helpful in choosing the best seeds to start with etc. also much cheaper than elsewhere so if I do mess up in the future it isn’t costing me so much. I thoroughly recommend Budget Seeds for all your veg and flower seeds.
