For much of the year, we are selling seed that is still in the ground. You can pre-order based on our conservative harvest estimates. If the actual harvest is less than our estimates, we can usually find a similar strain to substitute within the same varietal group, so please check YES to “May We Substitute?”. If you select NO we will send a refund for any sold-out strains. An expert always considers your location, similar traits in strain, and any other strains already on your order to avoid duplicates. You are also welcome to add any notes if you have specific requests for possible substitutions, or you can request that we contact you if substitutions are necessary.
Red Pontiac is a reliable mid-season heirloom potato known for producing large, round tubers with thin, dark-red skin, deep eyes, and crisp white flesh. The texture is firm and smooth when cooked, delivering a clean, classic potato flavor that performs especially well in boiled and mashed preparations.
This high-yielding variety is valued for its adaptability, including strong performance in heavy soils and good heat tolerance. It also offers excellent storage capability when properly cured after harvest. Because of its very thin skin, tubers benefit from a short curing period in the ground after vine dieback to allow the skin to firm before storage or handling.
