Hi does any one know if Maris Peer store well, i am growing Nicola and King Edwards but fancied a third variety that will store reasonably

Many thanks

they are a second early, and not normally grown for long term storage.
they may store in a refrigerated store?

Maris Piper do. If you want a second for storage try Estima or Charlottes

Yes they do mine have just started to sprout, they are kept in a garden storage box in the garage so no special treatment apart from keeping them in the dark.

just starting to sprout means they ain't keeping for long! it ain't exactly warm enough to start them off, unless you got a heated garage?

I grew Maris Peer for a few years (2nd early) and never found they stored that well, and don't forget it depends what yield you get too, to be able to store any.  I also grew Maris Piper for my lates and they stored just fine.  A good all round late potato.

Thanks for the replies i'll look at a different option
