Siberia has a specific climate in which not all crops can grow and produce excellent harvests.
It's no secret that summers are quite cold in this part of our country. Thus, in Novosibirsk the average maximum temperature in July is only +24 °C. Therefore, you need to choose only resistant varieties, bred specifically for the harsh Siberian regions. In specialized stores you can find a very large assortment of potato varieties; in this article we will look at the best of those that are suitable for Siberia.
Mr. Summer Resident advises: criteria for choosing potatoes for Siberia
Thanks to the efforts of breeders, each corner of our country has managed to develop its own varieties of vegetables, which allow us to harvest an excellent harvest even in conditions of not the best summer. No matter how excellent the characteristics, if the variety is not zoned for cultivation in the Siberian regions, then it is unlikely to be harvested.
For harsh climatic conditions, experts recommend choosing potatoes with early and mid-early ripening periods, because:
- Firstly, early ripening will allow you to avoid many diseases that do not have time to fully manifest themselves on the bushes.
- Secondly, fast-ripening potatoes will ripen ideally in Siberia with its short summer.
Another important advantage of zoned potatoes is their high adaptability to weather conditions. Potato varieties for Siberia, as a rule, easily adapt to weather conditions and easily survive temperature changes.
Reviews from gardeners
This year we harvested 2 beds of early potatoes: “Spring” and “Alena”. The first one turned out to be a bit small, but the second one was quite decent. The tops of both varieties withered early, and the summer was very hot. But other varieties stood with green tops for a long time.

It seems to me wrong to equate Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug with polar climatic conditions. The year before last, a neighbor harvested 100 buckets of tomatoes in his garden, and, to his surprise, they turned out better in open ground. My soil is sandy, there are long daylight hours in the summer, “ordinary” varieties of potatoes show me a good harvest, so I am sure that I have a complete “personal garden”
