Nicola Seed Potatoes – Superb Flavour & Excellent Reliability

Nicola Seed Potatoes – Premium Second Early Variety with Exceptional Flavour

Nicola Seed Potatoes are a highly regarded second-early potato variety introduced in the early 1970s and still considered one of the finest salad potatoes available today. Well loved by gardeners, chefs and allotment growers alike, Nicola is known for its consistent performance, exceptional flavour, and reliable yields, making it a perfect choice for both beginners and experienced growers.

Outstanding Taste & Waxy Texture

Nicola tubers are long to oval in shape with a smooth, light skin and pale cream flesh that cooks beautifully. Their firm, waxy texture holds shape extremely well, making them ideal for:

• Boiling and steaming

• Serving whole in their skins

• Cold salads, picnics and buffets

• Healthy summer dishes

The flavour is often described as buttery, rich and delicately sweet, earning Nicola praise from potato experts who rank it among the best new potatoes available for home growers.

Nicola Seed Potatoes are Versatile & Easy to Grow

Nicola is a particularly forgiving and adaptable potato variety. It grows well in traditional garden soil but excels in bags, planters and containers, making it perfect for patios and small gardens. Its vigour and uniform growth habit make it extremely reliable — one of the reasons it is frequently recommended for first-time growers.

Perfect for Summer Planting & Christmas Harvests

One of the standout features of Nicola is its suitability for summer planting. Plant in June or July, and you can enjoy a crop of freshly lifted new potatoes just in time for Christmas. This extended flexibility makes Nicola a valuable addition for gardeners wanting staggered harvests throughout the year.

Strong Natural Disease Resistance

Nicola offers dependable resilience and shows good resistance to:

• Common scab

• Powdery scab

• One form of eelworm

• Leafroll virus

Its proven disease resistance contributes to dependable, trouble-free crops.
