Elmer's Blue

A blue potato from the collection of Elmer Hansen, British Columbia. Fingerling type tuber with very dark blue skin and flesh. It sets tubers very high on VERY TALL vines. Has tendency to grow long stolons, setting serial tubers. A very good selection for growing in containers. It has an over 120 days vine growth. May grow larger crops if started earlier in a hoophouse. Heavy yield of medium-to-small, elongated dark blue tubers. The flesh is flaky but not too dry - possibly one of the best blue fleshed varieties. The skin is thick and both the skin and the flesh remain a very dark blue hue after cooking. Good keeper.
