The listing, 20 Huckleberry Bush Seeds has ended.

This is an annual variety grown for making huckleberry pie which tastes just like blueberry pie
Can also be grown for making jams and and jellies
NOTE: These berries are not meant to be eaten raw as they are bitter and should be cooked or baked before eating

Very small shrub, usually growing to only 12-24". There are a number of varieties of garden huckleberry to which there is some confusion. The wonderberry is actually a garden huckleberry variant hybridized by famed plant breeder Luther Burbank. Wonderberries have superior flavor to most garden huckleberries, although there are some sweet varieties of garden huckleberry that are worthwhile for the home grower. Caution should be advised not to confuse the fruits with those of nighshade (a very close relative), as nightshade fruits are highly poisonous.

Not frost hardy. Will reseed in areas of frost.

Cooked and used as a flavoring for various desserts. The unripe (green) berries are poisonous

Propagation: By seed. May fruit in just 2-3 months.
