Lawenda

Red skinned quality ware potato characterized by an exceptionally good taste and intense yellow flesh.

 

Variety characteristic:

Lawenda is a plant of medium height. It provides a big number of medium sized tubers middle and high in the ridge. Due to some higher tuber deposition, slightly deeper planting is recommended. This variety is much appreciated for a good tuber appearance with uniform, regular tuber shape, shallow eyes and smooth skin. Lawenda stands out with an exceptionally good taste. Its flesh is, after cooking, intensely yellow, cooking type B. Lawenda is, especially due its dormancy, suitable for long term storage, despite a short vegetation period, which reaches about 90 days.
