Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

I followed the suggestions to let the eyes sprout for a week, Put them in the grow bag as per directions on bag and they took off and are flowering now. The rest I put in an extra large
flower pot and they are great too.
Can't wait for the harvest!!!!!!!!

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

I was happy to see the plants allready coming up . I didnot have them in the ground long. Within a week they all ready started coming up. The directions were very good. I also enjoyed the information that came with them. So far im very happy with them.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

I planted these in Miraclegrow garden soil in potato bags on Mothers Day. The potato plants are 6 inches high and sturdy. This is turning into a fun summer project.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

This is my first attempt at growing potatoes in pots/bags, and I'm pleased to report that several sturdy plants have already appeared. They were a bit pricey for potatoes, but the "box of chocolates" packaging was very appealing. Am looking forward to the flowers and the crop.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

Easy to plant, Flowering Potatoes. The Jumbo Potato Bags are great.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

I have a large roof-top deck garden in the city. I had never thought about growing potatoes until my 7 y/o saw the catalog and wanted to try. We bought the flowering potatoes and the grow bag. They were easy to plant and maintain. The plants themselves and the flowers were very attractive which is important to me given my limited space to garden. We got a huge yield of potatoes just from the one container. My son was thrilled. I just ordered more for this year's garden.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

I bought these potatoes last year and planted them in the potatoe bags just as a fun experiment. Boy was I shocked when I dumped the potatoe bag into the wheel barrel to collect the harvest. It was like treasure hunting. One potatoe weighed in at almost 2lbs. I will be buying them again. Word of advice block them off - I had to fend off the rabbits and the ground hogs which love to eat the foliage.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

I harvested & was so surprised at the number & size of the spuds. Its perfect! The flowering potatoes were pretty too. VERY TASTEY varieties. My husband thought this was a dumb idea - until the harvest rolled in & we baked the Cranberry Red potatoes - the best he has ever tasted. He wants me to plant 3 more bags next season. Great products!! Flowering potatoes & the potatoe bags

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

Last year was the first time I've grown potatos, and I loved these. It was great to try several varieties at once, and the flowers were beautiful. They even gave a surprise second harvest -- must have left a couple in the ground last year, and they sprouted very early as "volunteers" this spring but still did really well.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

This is one of the best things we have purchased from Gardeners Supply. We have enjoyed every minute! They came so beautifully packaged, oh my! They were so healthy and we had so much fun with all the different types and colors of potatoes. These potatoes are really something special!

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

This has been a fun way to get started with adding potatoes to my garden. My garden soil is not great so the potato bag with the flowering potatoes has been a fun way to experiment with growing potatoes. The packaging was great, lots of information and an interesting mixture of potatoes to try for my first venture into growing potatoes.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

100% of these seed potatoes sprouted and continued to thrive and look healthy. I planted them in May and it's now the end of June. Looking forward to harvesting these!

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

I have a small lot, so getting flowers and food is a great use of space. Can't wait to taste them!

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

I gave my husband Flowering Potato plants for his birthday along with the potato bags and they have been quite a hit. They are nice sturdy, healthy plants; they grow quickly with no pest problems. No flowers yet but we are looking forward to having some red, white and blue potato salad soon. I would definitely recommend these to others and will buy them again. Thanks for a great product!

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

I am so excited about these potatoes. I bought the potato bags and the flowering potatoes for my patio and they are doing incredibly well. They look very healthy and hardy and are growing so fast I can't believe it. I liked them so much I recommended them to my sister who is also growing them right now. This is a fantastic product!!!

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

What fun!! Grow your own potatoes with lovely flowers before the harvest. I just dig my hands down into the earth and scoop up whatever is ready at the time. My grandkids like the little "surprises" too.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

These potatoes come so attractively packaged, you may chose to give them as a gift. The ID cards included are lovely. I put them in one of your potato bags and they are growing nicely in our community garden - I can't wait until they flower and we get to see those beautiful blooms - all that, and we'll have a wonderful variety of potatoes to try too. Really fun!

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

My potatoes are growing like topsy. I can hardly wait for the flowers.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

I was concerned that growing potatoes in the front yard would be a bad idea and look real country. However these are coming up quite nice and green. They grew quickly and I can't wait for the flowers to appear.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

just as promised, all but 1 are growing fine

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

I've bought these seed potatoes the past two years and have had great success! Attractive plants with good yield...........it's fun to make potato salad with the different colored potatoes!

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

[...] the growth rate on the potatoes weren't included. I used the potato grow bags, & have some potato plants that needed more dirt much quicker than the others. Growth rate estimations would've been helpful in pairing the different types of potatoes. [...]the blossoms are having a hard time holding up to our intense Florida sun. Looking forward to harvest time!

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

The potaotes are growing really fast and I'm anxious to see the results. I do wish there was a container with wheels made that would fit the bag. My cats and puppies keep pawing at the bag.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

Planted in your black potato bags. The plants are just starting to grow and look healthy. We are looking forward to the flowers and of course, the potatoes.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

The color, size, quality and condition of these seed potatoes was incredible! Each type of potato also came with a very impressive, stamped organic certificate from the State of Maine. (The packaging material was also so nice that I almost hated to take the potatoes out of their cute box to plant them.) Following the supplied instructions, I planted these potatoes in two potato bags about two and a half weeks ago. Since planting, each seed potato has sent up multiple, sturdy stems. I can't wait for the harvest!

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

I'm planting these tomorrow, so I held off on the 5th star due to not having an outcome to share. The potatoes arrived in great shape with great instructions and varietal info. The packing was cute!

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

Looking forward to having a variety of potatoes, trying the potatoe bags for the first time and used these as starters

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

I am always very well satisfied with any products purchased from Gardeners Supply Company. Need to make a trip to Vermont to do more shopping!

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

My first time planting a potato bed. Nice assortment of potatoes. Great instructions. We are looking forward to red, white, and blue potato salad for the 4th of July this year!

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

Just planted anxiously awaiting beautiful flowers and abundant produce. Excited about the variety in one package. Not your run of the mill variety.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

My only problem with this item was the potatoes were not labeled as to which was which so I had to guess. There was plenty of info on the potatoes themselves, so using the planting diagram was useless.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

I was excited to grow my own potatoes (using the potatoe success kit) but these have kind of been a bust. I planted them according to the directions, but only about a third have shown any sign of life and it has been over a month. Maybe some are just slow growers so I'll wait and see.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

Last I grew 10 pounds of potatoes in two Potato Grow Bags on my deck. They were delicious! They lasted until Thanksgiving and were a colorful side dish on my table!

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

The packaging on the potatoes was beautiful and the potatoes themselves arrived in perfect condition. The leaves are up after only a few weeks in the potato grow bags and I am hopeful of a large output this summer

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

Unique way to grow potatoes without taking a lot of room!

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

I grow these potatoes in half whiskey barrels. We love the variety and the wonderful flavor of the potatoes produced. The planting instructions enclosed don't really cover planting in containers.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

Just got my starter potatoes. They arrived just in time for planting, thanks. They were nice and healthy, should make some really great plants and potatoes. Can't wait for the colorful blossoms too.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

easy to plant and use

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

3 weeks after planting only 4 out of 12 are up. I don't think that's very good odds. With the cost of this item I'm not happy about yet.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

Explicit instructions and very informative regarding uses for different potato varieties.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

Well packed and very attractive selection

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

[...] The package included FULL planting instructions and receipe ideas. Easy to plant, low maintenance and very, very tasty.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

So Easy to grow I bought these this year and they took off! I couldn't believe how fast they grew we are already eating our own. The flowers were pretty and attracted hummingbirds. If you grow them in the potato bins they can stay right on your patio. They did atract Japanese beetles which have been bad this year but they were easy to pick off and drown

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

Very happy with the results so far. Planted in early May and stems are high with a couple flowers. Really looking foward to the variety of potatos.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

Never have grown potatoes and am excited about how well they are doing, I hope I follow the instructions right so I can harvest some potatoes!

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

I am trying out the flowering potatoes and the potato bin. I am looking forward to my harvest.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

So far they are growing exactly as described and I am very pleased

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

I would prefer the same number of each verity.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

IT's a great product and we can wait to eat them.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

Are growing beautifully, attractive flowers, easy harvest.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

Fun to show children (daycare) how vegies can be dfferent and excting.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

So far, so good. Are coming up nicely.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

I'm very excited about seeing the potatoes flower in my flower garden!

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

It was too late to find flowering potatoes at our local seed store, so we ordered from Gardeners Supply. Even though we planted late in the season, the plants are coming up strong and healthy. Thank you!

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

We planted these potatoes in potato bags. They grow quickly, flower beautifully and are SO easy to take care of. Then - we had a bumper crop of tasty, attractive potatoes in fall. What's not to like! we're growing twice as many bags full this year.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

I bought these late in the "potato" season yet they sprouted and are doing fine. I hope I get lots of potatoes, as promised!

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

I saw the picture on line of the beautiful blooms in the potato bag and wanted to add that 'picture' to my garden. Frequently, it doesn't work out like the picture, but in this instance it's EXACTLY like the picture! It's beautiful AND I will be getting potatoes for eating! I'm kind of an instant gratification sort and this combo is all that with easy to follow instructions! I recommend your site ALL the time!

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

The potatoes grow quickly and the plants are beautiful. The only down side is that the instructions don't tell you how to determine when the potatoes are ready to harvest.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

The leaves are so cute. I shared mine with two others and we're all very excited watching them grow.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

The potatoes came with certification, and colorful postcards about their properties. All sprouted quickly. I bought a larger bag of seed potatoes at the store but took these back, because there was not the variety of types, and they were big and had to be cut. These were planted just as I got them. I am using the potatoe grow bags from Gardners supply and these seem to be working well. Will have to see what the harvest brings!

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

I planted some potatoes in my potato bins some time ago. They are almost ready to cover for the first time. Plants are looking very healthy. Our season has just started, and I'm hoping for a good crop of potatoes. I want to get more potato bins for next season. I will definitely get the flowering potatoes you have for next year.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

Lots of greenery. Too early in season to see what crop will look like.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

The potatoes arrived on time, very healthy and were already sprouting. They are planted and I'm anxious for them to grow and flower.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

I don't know how well the product is since I haven't harvested any of the produce yet.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

I tried for the last 3 years to grow potatoes. They are growing and I am very excited to see what happens! Telling my friends & coworkers.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

This is my first experience growing potatoes. They were easy to plant and are starting to sprout. I'm looking forward to seeing them flower, bloom and produce potatoes. The potato starters came well packaged with very complete growing instructions.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

It is really too early to tell as I just planted them. I would be glad to do another review late summer when they are ready to be harvested.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

It has taken these quite a while to start to come up through the soil. The shoots look strong and healty and I am about to cover them over again as per the instructions. I cannot wait to see the end result.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

Getting started with seed potatoes in the potato bags has been so easy and fun to do. I can't wait to harvest in the fall. In the mean time, the potato flowers will work well with my mature garden. Thanks!

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

The packaging and presentation of these potatoes is so attractive that you could easily give this as a gift to a gardener. The directions were very clear, with lots of helpful tips for getting started. The potato plants are starting to come up. I am hoping they continue to progress this nicely as the growing season continues.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

Such unique colors of potatoes and the leaves are gorgeous - can't wait for all the blossoms and harvest!

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

I've never planted potatoes before and the instructions were very good. I planted the seeds in potatoe bags and all have sprouted and seem to be very healthy plants

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

It's still the beginning of the season, so I can't comment on outcome, but I have high hopes for these. Incredibly cute presentation--small box arrived at planting time, with lovely postcards of the potato varieties and recipes included. Instructions were very helpful and confidence-building. The seed potatoes were smaller than I had anticipated, so I didn't cut any, planting each of 12 whole into fabric potato bins. So far, so good. My only confusion was that the diagram that indicated which potato variety was which didn't align perfectly with the potatoes in the box--so I took an educated guess, and the adventure continues!

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

Too early to say yet - they're not ready but they look just fine!

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

Marketed with pretty packaging and glossy cards describing potato varieties.Personally, I would rather the product be priced $5 less..with less packaging frills. Nice as a gift to a gardener. Product fits well in the 3X3 grow bed.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

The selection of potatoes was very very exciting! We can't wait to grow and eat them. Enjoyed all the documents that came with the potatoes. Inspired confidence in our ability to grow these potatoes.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

I waited a really long time to plant - just didn't have the beds ready, and the instructions covered what to do in all situations. beautiful looking tubers - highly recommended

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

I planted these potatoes over a month ago in my potato bin, and they are coming up nicely. I was concerned at first that they were rotting due to the amount of rain, but in the last week I have signs of growth. I'm crossing my fingers for a nice crop.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

Quality seed potatoes, all 12 are growing like crazy in my potato bins, especially the blue variety. Growing to the point that after less than a month, I have almost completely filled the bins with soil. Includes unique varieties that aren't always available locally for us in VA, and certainly not all from the same nursery. Comes well packaged in a box, with a diagram of "who's who", a card of facts and uses for each variety, official seed potato certificates for each, and excellent growing instructions as well.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

I planted my potatoes in the new potatoe bags and they are growing well. They seem to be tolerating the heat here in Florida and I'm hoping for a great crop.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

I have planted these potatoes on my deck - I live in a wooded area and keep vegetables on the deck where the deer don't bother them ~

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

I bought this product ecause I thought it would be fun to try potatoes of different colors. I planted 4 myself and share 4 each with 2 neighbors. I am looking forward to having "home-grown" potatoes.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

I planted my potatoes on the 12th of April and I can not believe how fast they are growing. Easy to follow directions. I am eager to see how they trun out.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

It is too soon to know if these will grow as advertised but I was impressed with the [...] good instructions.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

I bought flowering potatoeea and potatoe bags as this years experiment in the garden. So far they are easy to use and we have some growth after two weeks in the bag. Keep in mind I live in New England and on day is 70 and the next 5 are 40's.
I can not wait to see the flowers.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

The flowering potatoes are beautifuly packaged and look very healthy. I just planted them and can't wait to see how they develope.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

This is my first time growing potatoes and I thought it would be fun to start with the flowering type and the potato bin. The plants are coming up but have not flowered yet. I expect they will be beautiful! I'm only a bit unsure about how to know when to start digging for the potatoes...maybe when the flowers fall off?

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

Excellent instructions! Very thorough! However, of the 12 potatoes, 3 have not yet started to sprout. I dug them up again and exposed them to light, but they are still not sprouting. I think I'll bury them again and hope they sprout!

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

The Potatoes were just lovely. They sprouted up and are looking very healthy. I potted a couple of them and they made great gifts.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

These came in a literally beautiful package. Very, very easy to understand and do instructions. Mine are up about 4 inches and I can't wait for them to flower and produce!

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

The potato seeds were well packed and arrived in perfect time to get them sprouted and planted for our region. It's the first time that I've ordered these so I can't comment on the quality or quantity of potato produced - however only 11 out of 12 seed potatoes were viable.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

This is my third year growing the flowering potatoes in Gardener Supply's fabric potato bags. The bags work great however you have to adapt the instructions a little (mounding the dirt several times). You have to remember to leave room for adding dirt in order to keep mounding around the potato stem. The flowers are beautiful and the vines are prolific. The first year I used all the potatoes and had a small harvest and reduced growth due to crowding. The second year using 6 potatoe bags, I planted three segments with eyes in each bag and had a harvest of about 20 pounds per bag. I gave away several of the seed potatoes as a result. The bags make it easy - at harvest time, dump the bag into a kiddie plastic swimming pool to get to the plentiful potatoes.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

I bought some of these last year and grew them in fresh soil in potato bags (also available from Gardeners' Supply). The plants were big and healthy and the flowers were gorgeous in summer, then after the top growth had died off in autumn I harvested about 8-10 tasty potatoes from each plant. I love home grown potatoes and I especially like these because of the variety of colors (both flowers and potatoes). I have just ordered another set for this season.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

Practical, unusual, blooming, edibile, fun, great gift idea!

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

It's too early for the flowers and the harvest, but so far the plants are big, lush and sturdy. I'm hoping for some great potatoes this fall and will buy again next year if they produce well.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

These potatoes were very "pretty". They came packaged with great info & instructions. They are growing in my old potato planter that I purchased from Gardener's Supply a long time ago. I especially loved the fact that they were organic as all of my gardens are organic - chemically free. I can't wait for the harvest time to try some of the unusual potatoes I have planted.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

None

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

We planted these potatoes in "potato bags". I was a bit skeptical at first, but, so far we have the healthiest looking potato plants I have ever grown. It's too early in the season to tell if we will get a good harvest, but if the potatoes are as healthy as the green tops we are going to have potatoes all winter. Can't wait to see the flowers!

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

Though I haven't harvested the potatoes yet, these came up rather quickly, produced great foliage, and have flowered. I'm just waiting for the flowers to die off to get the potatoes.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

These potato starts come beautifully presented and packaged, with full color cards, shredded paper packing, and a neat little box. It was like receiving nice handmade chocolates, only they were little potatoes that I shoved in the dirt!

They are growing and are flowering now. The flowers are multi-colored. I think that the appearance will get more dramatic in a few days.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

So far these potatoes have been amazing. Within a week of planting I had lots of leafing shoots, and now the garden trug I put them in is overflowing with greenery and blossoms are just around the corner.

My only regret for this review is that they haven't flowered or produced potatoes so far, but I suspect both of those items will happen and will be on par with my overall positive impression of this product.

Comments about Flowering Potatoes:

My husband thought I was crazy when I planted potatoes, of all things, in potato bags along the edge of our new patio. Now that they are flourishing with healthy green foliage, and beautiful flowers, he actually admitted I had a great idea! And after enjoying the view, we get to eat them! It doesn't get much better than that. These are definitely on my list for next year.
