Do Potato Plants Bloom? Potato plants produce flowers during the end of their growing season. These turn into the true fruit of the plant, which resemble small, green tomatoes. Potato plant flowering is a normal occurrence, but the flowers usually just dry up and fall off rather than producing fruit.

Should I let my potato plants flower?

You should allow your potatoes to flower. By harvesting after they flower, you allow the potato plant to grow to its potential. However, not all potatoes will flower or produce fruit. Whether your potatoes flower or not, the best time to harvest them is after above-ground greenery starts to turn yellow and die.

How long after potatoes flower Are they ready?

They are generally planted around late April and should be ready for harvesting about 10-12 weeks later. Again, and as for earlies, they will not be ready for harvesting until they have at least finished flowering.
