Warba is an early-season heirloom potato that produces high yields of uniform oval tubers with very smooth golden skin and white flesh. The tubers are known for their appealing appearance, often showing light pinkish-red splashes around the eyes, which has earned them the “Pink Eye” nickname. The texture and flavor are excellent when steamed, boiled, or fried.
This reliable variety offers good storage capability for an early potato and performs especially well in short-season growing areas. It is also resistant to common scab, making it a dependable choice for consistent production and clean, attractive tubers.

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.
