Red Maria

seed potatoes
Solanum tuberosum
Mid-season, red skin, white flesh.

Brace yourself for staggering yields! Red Maria will fill the root cellar, or satisfy your market’s bulk red-potato niche. Skin hue has less visual exuberance than her sister Strawberry Paw’s, but fulfills the needs of 98% of red-potato customers. Sweet moist flesh gets even sweeter with storage.

Reddish-purple flowers, semi-upright dark green vines. Scab resistant.

Also known as NY-129.
