Also says perennial so does that mean plant and it will come back each year. Sorry ahead of time about all the questions.
This is one of the very few potatoes that can be grown from true seed that is available commercially. Zolushka is considered a good frying potato and is one of the most prolific producers out yielding hundreds of other varieties. We sell tubers of the largest selections that were all grown from true seed. True seed is the teeny seed extracted from the fruit of the potato which is often ignored and thrown out. Often the population of these genetically different selections show variation in tuber size. So we kind of tweeked the population a bit by selecting the larger tubers which can be up to 4 inches in diameter. For chips, this is ideal as most of the tubers are very round or oblong..Zolushka has a smooth skin with uniform 2-3 inch long potatoes. Makes bunches of early potatoes too. 80-95 days from tubers. These selections also produce true seed too with fruits ripening in September. One fruit can contain easily 100 or more seeds.
It says at the end of their quote above that true seed is produced from these selections. That means that they have stabilized the variety, and the tubers that you would purchase would produce fruits that ripen in September (at their location) and these fruits will have viable seeds.Will the seeds the plant produces make more fruits that will have seeds and will those seeds also have the same kind of potato or will it be a luck thing.

Hi Roberto,
Two years ago the weather here in Bohemia was fine enough that I got some of those fruits on my purple potatoes, I planted Many last year and only about 8 made it. One was still purple, I will grow those again this year and then see if they are worth saving with a taste test. I did not want to eat them all if they were going to be good.

I will think on this idea .
