Second Earlies
Wilja Seed Potatoes are an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a versatile and high-quality second early variety. Known for their smooth, yellow skin and creamy, waxy flesh, Wilja potatoes are ideal for boiling, steaming, and baking. Their exceptional flavour and consistent performance make them a favourite among home growers.
Key Features:
-
Early Harvest: Wilja potatoes typically mature in about 12-14 weeks, allowing you to enjoy a delicious crop in the early summer.
-
Delicious Flavour: With a fluffy texture and a slightly nutty taste, these potatoes are perfect for a wide range of culinary applications, from salads to hearty main dishes.
-
High Yield: This variety is known for producing generous quantities, making it a rewarding choice for both novice and experienced gardeners.
-
Disease Resistant: Wilja potatoes are bred for resilience against common potato diseases, ensuring a healthy and reliable harvest.
Growing Instructions:
Plant second early potato crops from March. Before planting, 'chit' the seed potatoes by setting them out in a cool, bright position (around 10°C / 50°F) to allow them to sprout.
When growing second early potatoes in the ground, avoid planting in soil where potatoes have grown for two years in succession to reduce the risk of disease. Prepare a sheltered position in full sun with moist, well-drained soil, incorporating plenty of well-rotted manure. Space seed potatoes 37cm (15") apart in rows set out 75cm (2', 6") apart. Place the seed potatoes into 10cm (4") deep trenches and backfill the soil to refill the trenches. Once shoots reach 20cm (8"), mound soil around them, leaving just a few centimetres visible. Repeat this process after three weeks.
If space is limited, consider growing potatoes in bags. Fill an 8-litre potato bag with quality compost mixed with well-rotted manure, leaving some space at the top. Carefully plant a single chitted tuber with the shoots facing upwards at a depth of 12cm (5") from the soil surface. Place the bags in a sunny location and water regularly to keep the compost moist.
By following these simple steps, you'll soon enjoy a bountiful harvest of Wilja Seed Potatoes!

Recycled Growing Media
At Lincs Plants, we’re proud to use a recycled, peat free growing mix that’s made right here in Lincolnshire. It’s made from coir with around 20% silt loam added in.
The coir keeps the mix light and free draining, while the silt loam adds structure and helps hold moisture and nutrients. By recycling used media and using locally sourced materials, we cut down on waste and reduce the need for imported peat based composts.
This home grown mix is part of our commitment to sustainable growing and supporting local production wherever possible.
At Lincs Plants, we operate from two main locations. When you place an order, we prepare and pack plants across both sites depending on what you’ve ordered.
Site 1 – Packing and Distribution
This site holds:
Oxygenating bunches
Loose lilies
Aquarium plants

We start processing orders each morning at 8am.

During our peak periods, we can process up to 3,000 orders a day across multiple departments. Each department either supports a main packing team or packs orders directly.
