Key Characteristics

• Early-Season Variety for Quick Harvests
  Eva potatoes mature in just 85-95 days, making them one of the earliest varieties to harvest. Perfect for extending your growing season, they allow gardeners to enjoy fresh, homegrown potatoes while the season is still young.

• Superior Disease Resistance
  Eva boasts excellent resistance to scab, early blight, and other common potato diseases. Its robust health makes it an ideal option for organic and low-input gardens, helping you produce a healthy, vigorous crop with minimal intervention.

• Light, Fluffy Texture and Delicious Flavor
  The creamy white flesh of Eva potatoes has a light, airy texture when cooked, making it a favorite for mashing and baking. Its mild, slightly nutty flavor is versatile and pairs well with a variety of dishes, from simple roasted potatoes to more elaborate recipes.

• Tips for Best Growing
  Eva potatoes thrive in rich, well-draining soil with consistent moisture. Plant seed potatoes 4-6 inches deep and 12 inches apart in rows spaced 30 inches apart. Hill soil around plants as they grow to encourage maximum tuber production. For best results, avoid overwatering and ensure the soil is not overly compacted. Harvest when the vines die back, cure in a cool, dark place for 1-2 weeks, and store in a dry, cool area.

• Reliable Yields in Diverse Conditions
  Eva is a resilient variety that adapts well to various climates and soil types. Even in less-than-ideal conditions, it produces consistent, reliable harvests, making it an excellent choice for gardeners of all skill levels.
