Rocket is a good potato for container or bag growing. However is is grown, lifting before full maturity is recommended to avoid cracking of the tubers.It has good disease resistance to blackleg, common scab, and spraing

Main culinary uses are early boiling and salads.

I grew these First Earlies last year.
They grew really quickly and provided our family with copious amounts of very tasty new potatoes. I left a few plants in and was still diving nice larger potatoes in early july. Going to order some more for 2013.
