Alta Blush

Not available for the 2023 growing season – Alta Blush’ was discovered as a chance seedling in Wetaskiwin, Alberta in 1992. The exact parentage is unknown but it was developed by private potato breeder John Safroniuk of Wetaskiwin Alberta.  It has a smooth, thin skin, shallow eyes and tastes wonderful.

John’ s daughter, Tracey Berg, writes. “The potato is excellent in salad, boiled, baked and roasted. It has a creamy texture.  It is by far our favourite for mashing, but they don’t mash well until late September.”

This product is currently out of stock and unavailable.

Description

Early Maturity

Great for winter storage

Available in 14kg bags

Cooking – Boiled, Baked, Roasted or Potato Salad

Planting – Place potatoes 4-5” deep and 10-12” apart with at least 3 feet between rows.  Cover potatoes with 3-4” of soil. Larger potatoes can be cut prior to planting. Ensure there is an equal number of eyes on each cut piece.

Growing – Hill plants once they begin to emerge from the soil.  Continue to pull dirt up around the plants as they grow.  Keep the soil moist, but not overly saturated during the growing season.  Containers may need daily watering.

Harvest –  Flowering is often an indicator young potatoes are almost ready to harvest.  For winter storage, potatoes should remain in the ground until light frosts or natural maturity dry down the leaves and stems.
