Our Swiss potato enthusiast Stefan Griesser grows interesting potatoes from seed and turns them into well-reproducible seed-bearing varieties. We are including some of these varieties in our assortment, hoping that hobbyists or small growers will enjoy cultivating them. Sowing potatoes is a fun adventure, which is common practice for breeders of new varieties! The initial cultivation is similar to tomatoes: sow, prick out, and plant out in April-May (no night frost!)
