Growing Instructions:
Plant maincrop potatoes 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 maincrop potatoes in the ground, avoid planting in soil where potatoes have been grown for two consecutive years to reduce the risk of disease. Prepare the planting area in a sheltered position with full sun on moist, well-drained soil, and dig in plenty of well-rotted manure. Space the seed potatoes 45cm (18") apart in rows set 75cm (2', 6") apart. Plant them into 10cm (4") deep trenches and backfill with soil. Once shoots reach 20cm (8"), mound soil around the shoots, leaving just a few centimetres exposed. Repeat this earthing-up process after another three weeks.
For limited space, consider growing potatoes in bags. Fill an 8-litre potato bag with quality compost mixed with well-rotted manure, leaving some room 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 area and water regularly to keep the compost moist.
By following these guidelines, you'll soon enjoy a bountiful harvest of Pentland Dell Seed Potatoes, perfect for all your favourite potato-based dishes!

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

Oxygenating bunches
Loose lilies
