Most certainly, though it's best to have a number of plants to preserve
genetic diversity. I've done it by keeping plants over winter in a root
cellar and planting out the next spring.

The only problem is if the original plant was an F1. That is a first cross
between two different plants so any seed from such a plant will carry a lot
of variation such that you won't get much that is the same as the original
plant.
