    This is a potato that is grown from seed (TPS). Round rose blush to red skin with flesh from creamy white to yellow. It takes a long time to develop from a seedling to transplant size which pushes the growing season into hot summer weather. Only a few marble size tubers developed but the plants succumbed to the heat. Definitely not a variety for this climate.
