The first potato from seed that’s an AAS Winner! The benefits of growing this tasty edible from seed are many. For home gardeners and market growers, sterile seed eliminates the potential for introducing disease to the garden. Seeds are also easier to store and can be stored longer than potato tubers. Potato Clancy produces compact and healthy dark green plants with blue flowers. Resulting spuds are a beautiful ornamental mix ranging from red to rose blush skin tones with interiors of creamy white and yellow. In terms of eating qualities, Clancy has great texture and flavor (a happy medium between that of a yellow-skinned potato and a russet), making it especially good for mashing or boiling due to its lighter texture.

Sow Potato Clancy just as you would tomatoes, about 6-8 weeks before last frost, and transplant out in the garden on your spring tomato planting date. From there treat as you would a normal potato plant, mounding up soil every few weeks (works great in a container too!) Click here for a complete, in-depth culture and growing guide.

- “I like this one. It is unique and something fun for gardeners’ young and old alike. The almost mythical seed potato has finally been discovered. Each plant I harvested had 3-4 decent sized tubers and half a dozen more large grape sized tubers. This is one I would grow for fun at home with the kids and for food purposes as well. It takes nothing to grow these and they last a long time in the ground. ”
