Potato Flowers Going to Seed: Should You Save Them?

Short Answer: No

Potato "seeds" (from berries) produce tiny tubers year one. Breeders use this for hybridization, but for gardeners it's impractical and unpredictable.

Better Approach

Save seed tubers from your best plants.
Or buy certified seed potatoes annually.
If you want true‑to‑type, grow heirloom varieties and save tubers.
