20 Seeds- What is Wonderberry? Also known as garden huckleberry, the wonderberry/sunberry (Solanum burbankii) is a unique plant. The bushy, erect plants reach mature heights of two feet. Attractive white flowers appear in midsummer, followed by hundreds of deep bluish-black berries. Growing the plants is easy and they require little care. Start the seed indoors in late winter, then move the plants outdoors when all danger of frost has passed in the spring. If you live in a warm climate with no late frost, you can plant the seeds directly outdoors. Wonderberry plants produce berries from early summer until autumn. The plants are annual in most climates; wonderberries do not tolerate frost. Wonderberries are relatively safe to eat, although unripe, green berries may be poisonous! DO NOT EVER EAT GREEN BERRIES, ONLY BLACK ONES and ask your doctor before doing so to be safe! This usually doesn’t present a problem because unripe wonderberries are extremely bitter. Ripe (BLACK) berries are harmless, and they are easy to distinguish because they lose their greenish color. The berries are ready to pick when they are soft , black, and no longer shiny. The ripe berries aren’t very tasty when picked fresh and eaten raw, with a flavor akin to an unripe tomato. However, the berries are delicious in pies, syrups and preserves when they are cooked and combined with sugar or other sweetener. Don’t pick the berries the same way you would pick blueberries because you’ll have nothing but a sticky mess. Instead, roll the berries gently between your fingers and let them drop into a bowl. Don’t pick the green berries; they will ripen if you leave them on the plant. 20 SEEDS - ENOUGH TO GROW A NICE ROW OF PLANTS! VISIT OUR STORE FOR OVER 1000 SEEDS INCLUDING OVER 300 HEIRLOOM TOMATOES!
