Potato & tuber seeds — grow your own potatoes from true seed

Growing potatoes from true seed is a clean, modern alternative to bulky seed tubers — a single packet of these F1 potato seeds raises a whole bed of plants, free of the viruses that can build up in saved tubers. They're the seed-raised form of Solanum tuberosum and sit within our wider root vegetable range. New to growing your own? Our vegetable growing guide covers the basics.

Started early under cover and grown on like tomatoes, true potato seed yields a mix of tubers to harvest from late summer — the calendar shows the timing.

Why grow potatoes from seed?

True potato seed is light, easy to store and post, and sidesteps the virus and storage problems of seed tubers — there's no chitting and no heavy sacks to lift. Modern F1 varieties are bred to come up uniform and productive, giving good-sized, tasty tubers in their first year, and the tubers you save can be replanted the following season like ordinary seed potatoes.

Growing potatoes from seed

Sow the fine seed early under cover, prick out and grow on the young plants much as you would tomatoes, then harden off and plant out after the last frost into rich, well-prepared soil. Earth up the stems as they grow to protect the developing tubers from light, keep them watered, and lift once the plants begin to die back.

Give them an open, sunny site and fertile soil, and a single packet can fill a surprising stretch of bed.
