Potato Seeds - Mixed

Mixed potato seeds produce herbaceous plants grown as annuals for seasonal cultivation. This mix includes potatoes with varying skin and flesh coloration, offering diverse plant characteristics within a single planting. Plants develop upright leafy growth above ground while forming underground tubers in loose, well-drained soil. Potatoes perform best in mild to cool climates with moderate temperatures and consistent moisture. They are suitable for garden beds, raised beds, and field-style planting and adapt well to a range of growing conditions when soil structure and drainage are properly maintained.
