Potato Seeds - Purple Batatas

Purple Batatas potato seeds produce herbaceous plants grown as annuals for seasonal cultivation. Plants develop upright leafy growth above ground while forming underground tubers in loose, well-drained soil. This type performs best in mild to warm climates with moderate temperatures and consistent moisture throughout the growing season. Potatoes are suitable for garden beds, raised beds, and field-style planting and adapt well to different environments when soil structure and drainage are properly maintained.
