A prolific and easy-to-grow berry plant, Garden Huckleberry produces abundant small black berries that aren’t particularly sweet on their own, but shine when cooked. Perfect for jams, pies, sauces, or combined with other fruits and berries, these berries develop a rich, deep flavor and make a surprisingly delicious treat. Plants are low-maintenance and reliably productive throughout the summer and fall.

Growing recommendations
Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost. Sow ¼ inch deep in a light, well-drained seed-starting mix and keep consistently moist. Germination takes 10–21 days at 70–75°F. Transplant seedlings outdoors after all danger of frost has passed, spacing plants 18–24 inches apart in full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil. Water regularly, especially during dry periods, and remove any unripe or damaged fruit to maintain plant health.

We're trialing and breeding new varieties!
This is the most challenging and thrilling part of our work.
The trialing allows us to test varieties of a same species side by side and determine which one(s) taste and perform the best.
Breeding and variety maintenance means selecting for traits that are desirable such as flavor, texture, disease resitance, earliness and hardiness, just to mention a few.
