Red Maria

×
seed potatoes
Solanum tuberosum
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. Maria’s skin hue has less visual exuberance than her sister Strawberry Paw’s, but fulfills the needs of 98% of the red-potato customers. Super-sweet moist flesh. Excellent dormancy retention in winter storage.

Reddish-purple flowers, semi-upright dark green vines. Also known as NY-139.
