Organic Rainbow Mix Seed Potato (lb)
Colorful Mix that Produces Over a Wide Range of Time
Enjoy a colorful and flavorful harvest with this diverse blend of red, yellow, white, and blue Certified Organic Seed Potatoes. This mix includes a range of early, mid, and late-season varieties—ideal for gardeners who want variety in both maturity timing and culinary use. Each type brings its own texture, color, and flavor to the table, from buttery yellow to nutty purple. The mix composition varies by order, and a minimum of 3 pounds is required to ensure a balanced selection.
This vibrant selection is excellent for roasting, mashing, or boiling. These potatoes thrive in loose, fertile soil with consistent watering and benefit from regular hilling as they grow. Whether planted in raised beds or garden rows, the mix yields a productive and diverse harvest that is both practical and beautiful.
Plant when the soil is workable, mound soil around stems to protect developing tubers, and keep the soil evenly moist. Once harvested, cure the potatoes in a cool, dark space for 7–10 days to extend their shelf life.

Planting & Care
- Fall-planted spuds produce outstanding yields by May. If your area experiences hard winters (USDA Zones 1–7), or you tend to have long, wet spring seasons when rot might be a problem, plant potatoes in the spring.
- One pound of seed potatoes will plant a row approximately 8' long with seed pieces spaced at 8 - 12" apart.
- Plan on 1,200 lb/acre (600 lb of fingerlings) when rows are spaced 36" apart with 12" between plants.
- Under optimal conditions, you can expect to harvest 10–15 pounds of potatoes for every pound of seed potato planted.

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, 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.
