Grow one of the most fascinating and productive perennial food crops with our Air Potato Seed Potatoes. Each pack contains 3 planting bulbils ("seed potatoes"), ready to grow into vigorous climbing vines that produce edible aerial tubers, commonly known as air potatoes.

Air Potato (Dioscorea species) is a unique yam relative that forms potato-like tubers above ground on the vine itself, making harvesting easy and convenient. Unlike traditional potatoes that require digging, air potatoes can simply be picked from the vine when mature.

A favourite among food forest growers, permaculture gardeners, and homesteaders, air potatoes are valued for their rapid growth, abundant harvests, and ability to produce food vertically. Their climbing habit makes them an excellent choice for fences, trellises, pergolas, and food forest edges where space efficiency is important.

Once established, a single vine can produce numerous aerial tubers while also contributing shade, biomass, and vertical greenery to the garden.
