I am wanting some red king edward seed potatoes but I can't seem to find anywhere that sells them. I am only wanting one 2.5kg bag. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks

Have you looked in Dobbies? They had a large selection last week, 'mix and match' any 5 for a £1.00.DottyR -
Also Wilkinsons have small bags with 5 in I think, but not sure what varieties.DottyRComment

Hello and welcome. I Goggled and found several stockists but P&P seemed expensive. Here's one in Herefordshire Maincrop seed potatoes are the perfect spud for baking 7 chipping.
Without knowing where you live its difficult to help with local stockists. Could you add your location to your profile please.Comment

I am in Sheffield. I have phoned the places I've found on Google and none of them have the red ones. I think I am just going to have to choose a different variety.Comment

Not sure if this helps but Transition Chesterfield are running another potato day in Loundsley Green you could contact them and see what varieties they have :-

What is it you particularly like about the red King Edwards? Someone might be able to suggest an alternative. Two reds I like are Desiree and Red Duke of York.Comment

Rooster is pretty good too.Comment

King Edwards are a maincrop as are Desiree but the DOY is an early varietyOriginally posted by WendyC View PostComment

I realise they are not equivalents, just the first two I can think of. I have left red Duke of York to get quite big and lift as an early main crop. I've never grown King Edwards, red or otherwise. Was just wondering why these.Comment
