Step beyond ordinary potatoes and dive into the wild frontier of potato genetics with Mixed True Potato Seeds (TPS) – All Domesticated Types. This is not a beginner mix—it’s an experimental, high-diversity seed collection designed for adventurous growers, breeders, and researchers who want to explore the full spectrum of domesticated potato potential.
Unlike curated or stabilized TPS mixes, this blend includes seeds from all domesticated potatoes grown, plus current-year seedlings that have not undergone any selection. The result is massive genetic variability—from outstanding performers to truly bizarre plants you’ve never seen before.
Expect surprises: plants with 4-foot stolons, plants that produce berries instead of tubers, some that produce no tubers at all, and others with exceptional pest resistance, climate tolerance, or unique growth habits. You’ll also discover plenty of good, productive potatoes—and possibly rare gems worth saving and breeding further.
⚠️ This mix is for exploration, not uniform harvests.
