Blackberry Potato Mini is a compact potato cultivar bred for small-space gardeners and container growing. These diminutive tubers carry the deep purple-black skin that gives the variety its striking name, while delivering the same nutritional density as full-size potatoes in a more manageable format. Plant in full sun with minimal water needs, spacing them 12 inches apart in rows 24 inches apart, and you'll have certified disease-free seed potatoes ready to harvest in a single season. The variety thrives in slightly acidic soil (pH 5.2 to 6.0) and requires little fuss once established.

The Blackberry Potato Mini trades nothing in flavor or nutrition for its petite size. These dark purple tubers are high in vitamin C, rivaling broccoli as a source of phytonutrients, making them genuinely nutrient-dense comfort food rather than a novelty. Low water requirements and the included cultural directions with every order mean even novice gardeners can succeed, while the compact growth habit opens potato growing to anyone with limited garden space.
Blackberry Potato Mini potatoes work beautifully in small-batch cooking where their diminutive size means they cook evenly without needing to be cut. Roasted whole, boiled for potato salads, or steamed as a side dish, these tubers offer the same versatility as standard potatoes in portions perfectly suited to smaller households or frequent harvesting from containers.
No timeline data available yet for this variety.
Plant potatoes up to three weeks before your last frost date. Larger potatoes can be cut into pieces, ensuring each piece contains at least one 'eye' (growth point). Plant directly into garden soil at the spacing specified.
Harvest when potato plants begin to yellow and die back naturally, typically in mid to late summer depending on your planting date. Carefully dig around the base of each plant to extract the small tubers, taking care not to damage their thin skins. Small potatoes are ready to eat fresh immediately; if storing, allow skins to set in a cool, dark place for a few days before putting away.
