Purple Potato Flowers???

[echokilo]

Saw a crop today Very like potato leaves, furrows banked up, but purple headed flowers ..... Are they spuds and what variety please? TIA

My potatoes have purple flowers on at the moment, no idea what variety they are as I save seed spuds each year and lost track of the name

Yep, mine are all purple too (Rocket and Charlotte)

[rowanwitch]

purple is the normal colour its the white and pink ones that are odd

White flowers ain't odd at all on potato plants,Just depends what breed and what type soil and weather. Iv grown a few types of potatoes with white flowers.The purple colour spuds I dug up last week had white flowers on the plant.
