potato 'Swift'

Hailed as one of the earliest croppers, it is claimed that you can be dishing these potatoes up in as little as 7 weeks after you plant them (10 weeks might be more realistic). These first earlies produce a high yield of white-skinned, oval potatoes that have a creamy coloured flesh that is ideal for boiling. In growth, they are compact, which makes them ideal for containers and less sheltered ground. They show a good resistance to bruising, Potato scab and virus.
