From seed to harvest

Quantity per packetApproximately 50 seeds

The F1 yellow grelot potato charms with its small, round to oval tubers, smooth skin, and medium yellow flesh, beautiful both on the plate and in the garden. This early to mid-season variety stands out for its firm texture after cooking, making it an excellent choice for warm salads, oven roasts, and dishes where a firm flesh is desired. Grown from true seeds rather than tubers, it offers the precious advantage of producing a healthier crop, free from diseases often transmitted by traditional plants. In the garden, it requires a little attention at the beginning, especially for germination and transplanting, but it generously rewards the gardener with vigorous and productive growth. Its dense foliage appreciates loose, warm, and well-drained soil, where young plants can settle without stress. It attracts fewer pollinators than flowering plants, but its presence fits perfectly into a diversified vegetable garden, where it contributes to the richness of harvests and crop rotation. Its good tolerance to blight also makes it an excellent ally for gardeners concerned with resilience and success. When the time comes to dig up its golden grelots, one finds all the simple pleasure of a generous, tasty harvest, deeply rooted in the experience of the nourishing vegetable garden.
