Garden Huckleberry Seeds – Heirloom & Open-Pollinated Variety, Non-GMO Vegetable Seeds for Planting Outdoors in the Home Garden
Dhara Seeds, a big, trusted name in the USA seed market with a vast, high-quality selection, proudly offers Garden Huckleberry Seeds, a unique heirloom variety known for its small, glossy black berries that are perfect for culinary use. This non-GMO, open-pollinated plant is an excellent addition to home gardens, producing an abundant harvest that can be used for jams, preserves, and pies when fully ripe.
Solanum scabrum, commonly known as Garden Huckleberry, is a fast-growing annual that produces clusters of dark purple to black berries. Unlike wild huckleberries, these berries require cooking to bring out their full sweetness, making them perfect for jams, jellies, and desserts. This heirloom variety thrives in warm climates and is an easy-to-grow plant for gardeners looking to experiment with unique edible crops.
Garden Huckleberry thrives in full sun and well-drained, fertile soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. It requires warm temperatures and benefits from being started indoors before transplanting outside after the last frost. This plant prefers consistent moisture but is drought-tolerant once established.
For best results, start seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost and transplant when outdoor temperatures reach at least 6°F. Sow seeds ¼ inch deep and space plants 18 to 2 inches apart. Direct sowing is also an option in warmer climates. Regular pruning encourages bushier growth and better fruit production.
Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the early growth stages. Water deeply once or twice a week to encourage strong root development. Mulching helps retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Garden Huckleberry thrives in USDA hardiness zones through 10. Globally, it grows well in warm, temperate climates with a long enough growing season to allow full berry ripening.
