Sarpo Mira

Type: Main

Good for:
•    Baking, chipping, mashing, roasting

Resistant to:
•    Blight
•    Some slug resiistance

Susceptible to:
•    Nothing

Renowned by many for its resistance to late blight and even blight recovery, this red skinned tuber is oval in shape with pale flesh. Tasty, high yielding and long storage capacity with weed-suppressing foliage makes this both a grower and cooker favourite. The original Sarpo and still the most widely known.   As it keeps growing, best treated as an early main as it can become too starchy if left beyond August.
