Sparkle is perhaps right up there with Honeoye in terms of survivability. If you're in a very cold area, grow this alongside Honeoye (Zone 2), as Sparkle is hardy to Zone 3—potentially even Zone 2 if well mulched over winter.

Everything else we offer, other than Cabot (Zone 4), is otherwise Zone 3.

Great for Jam and Freezing

Sparkle isn’t the best for fresh eating, but for whatever reason, it makes fantastic jam and freezes well. Some of the other varieties that taste better fresh don’t hold up in jam quite like Sparkle does.

Later-Season Producer

Berries are small to medium in size and come on later in the summer. Hardy to Zone 3.

Planting Tips

These are sold bare root.
If you’re in Zone 4 or higher, plant with Cabot for better pollination.
If you’re in Zone 3, plant with Honeoye—their blossoms will overlap, even though Honeoye fruits slightly earlier.
