Organic Purple Majesty Seed Potato (lb)
Packed Full of Antioxidants
Purple Majesty Seed Potatoes are a visually stunning variety with deep purple skin and vibrant purple flesh. Known for their rich concentration of anthocyanins—nearly twice the amount found in any other produce item—they offer nutritional benefits and striking appeal at an affordable cost. These mid-season potatoes are praised for their flavor, uniform yields, and culinary versatility.
With a slightly nutty, earthy flavor and firm texture, they’re excellent baked, fried, mashed, or used in colorful salads. Their shape holds well during cooking, making them a standout for gnocchi and other firm preparations. Purple Majesty shines in any kitchen and pairs beautifully with Yukon Golds and russets in mixed potato dishes.
These tubers thrive in full sun with well-drained, compost-rich soil and benefit from regular hilling and consistent watering. Plant them once the risk of frost has passed, spacing 12 inches apart. Store harvested potatoes in a cool, dark, dry location to preserve quality and color.

We guarantee the perishable items we sell to be in good, viable condition when we sell them. Perishable items include, but are not limited to, garlic bulbs, flower bulbs, seed potatoes, onion sets & transplants, potted or bare root trees, vegetable crowns, etc. If your perishable item arrives in substandard condition, take photographs and please contact us within 3 days of the purchase date (or delivery date) and we will provide you with a refund of the purchase price (excluding shipping costs), or a replacement. Accordingly, we urge you to open any boxes marked as ""Perishable"" immediately upon receiving them and inspect the shipment thoroughly (do not crack open heads of garlic, we do not accept claims on cracked garlic). Because some perishable items can deteriorate very quickly, we cannot accept any claims beyond the 3-day time frame as it becomes too difficult to determine if these items were delivered in substandard condition, or if they turned into such substandard condition because of having been improperly cared for or stored once delivered.
