Description

The listing, Garden Huckleberry--50 Fresh Seeds has ended.

This decorative annual will grow to a bushy, 3 foot plant in one season, producing clusters of plump fruit that look like large, dark blueberries. Garden Huckleberry make delicious pies, jellies, and jams, but use about 1/3 more sugar than your normal blueberry recipe.

Planting guide: Sow indoors 6 to 8 weeks before they can be set out-of-doors. When the plants have 4 leaves transplant 4 to 5 inches apart. Set outdoors 3 feet apart after danger of frost. The fruit should not be used until thoroughly ripe. Boil until tender before adding sugar, as boiling in sugar will cause it to become tough. There is sometimes a bitter taste which disappears after the fruit has been frosted. If prepared before frost, parboil in water containing a small pinch of baking soda

Yeah I read that, thanks! One more question. . When you make them into a pie/jam does it taste like blueberries. I'm just curious, I'm for sure bidding on them and I'll Google more info on them but was curious about the taste of the pie :)

It's a bit of a more "heavy " taste than regular blueberries..Some thing like blackberries..That is due to their darker color maybe..They are quite good---You'll be pleased, I am sure.

Are these sweet enough to pick and eat or are they best for making pies and jam?

They are best for pies and jams...Their sugar content is such that eating fresh is not like a blueberry...The guide on adding sugar is in the post.
Thank you for the interest..I know that I sure sell a bunch of them year after year.
