True potato seed information and growing instructions
This is an OSSI open source variety.
True potato seeds are classified as breeding seeds and germination is not guaranteed.

It’s fair to say that this isn’t the most beautiful potato that I have ever produced, but it is an interesting one. This is a cross of Twanoh x Negro y Azul. Twanoh is (most likely) a hybrid of S. tuberosum and S. acroscopicum. It is tetraploid and I expected that it would cross with domesticated tetraploids, but open pollinated seeds all produced seedlings that looked very similar to Twanoh. So, as an experiment, I emasculated some flowers and pollinated them with Negro y Azul, a very dark blue potato, in the hope that I would get some seeds and also to see how Twanoh would respond to blue genetics. I did get seeds, but less than 20 per berry, which is interesting in itself. Of the 64 seedlings that I planted out this year, about half were round and half oval and only three of them showed any color. This one had the most color. It also yielded 4.5 lb as a seedling which is impressive. It is delicious, with light, floury flesh and a bit more complexity than Twanoh. It is a very different plant from Twanoh, large and late, with a habit like a domesticated potato, favoring Negro y Azul much more. But, it is 50% Twanoh and therefore probably 25% S. acroscopicum, so it will be interesting to play around with it. Consider this purely experimental.  This is seed right from the seedling plant, so I have hardly had a chance to evaluate this one myself, but I think there could be some interesting results.
