Jams 'N Jellies American Pie Mix includes the 2012 All-America Selection Flower winner Blackberry, an exceptionally vigorous deep purple Vinca. The dark hues stand out brilliantly against the red and white of the other colors in this mix. All 3 colors are about 2 inches wide, with tiny white eyes and great staying power. Expect them to begin in early summer and continue until frost!
The foliage is handsome as well. Bright green, lush, and glossy, it offers the perfect backdrop for these patriotic hues. And because Jams 'N Jellies is quite tolerant of heat and drought, both the flowers and the foliage remain fresh and vibrant even during the dog days of August.
These plants are compact but well-branched and bushy, reaching 10 to 14 inches high and 10 to 12 inches wide. An annual, Jams 'N Jellies American Pie Mix is ideal for sunny to partly shaded (in warmer climates) beds as well as containers. Very low-maintenance and easy to care for, it blooms in waves for many months.
Starting the seed is easy: begin about 11 weeks before the last scheduled frost in your area. Pop the seeds into the Bio Dome with the dome kept on (humidity should be as high as possible). They will germinate super-quick -- 3 to 5 days is standard when they're kept at a temperature of 75 to 78 degrees F. Then grow them on with the dome removed at anywhere from 65 to 75 degrees. By the time they're about 5 weeks old, they'll need to be potted up. Keep them indoors under grow lights or in a sunny window for an additional 5 to 6 weeks, then transplant after all danger of frost is past. Your Independence Day garden has never had it so good! Pkt is 20 seeds.
Periwinkle, or Vinca is often used as a ground cover, in beds and borders, or as a container plant. Plants, 4-18 inches tall, can be bushy and well-branched to spreadingmounds. Rounded, 11/2- inch to 2- inch blooms of white, pink, crimson, and lavender with overlapping petals are borne from summer till frost. The glossy, dark green foliage is 1-2 inches long, and oblong on this upright and spreading plant

Park Seed has been handling and packing vegetable and flower seeds for 145 years, a history that has given us a great understanding of how each variety should be cared for and maintained throughout every step of theprocess, from collection to shipping.
When packing our seeds, the majority are actually done by hand (with extreme care!), and we often over-pack them, so you're receiving more than the stated quantity.
The Park Seed Gold Standard
Heirloom Seeds are open-pollinated -- they are not hybrids. You can gather and save heirloom seed from year to year and they will grow true to type every year, so they can be passed down through generations. To be considered an heirloom, a variety would have to be at least from the 1940's and 3 generations old (many varieties are much older -- some 100 years or more!).
Hybrid seed are the product of cross-pollination between 2 different parent plants, resulting in a new plant/seed that is different from the parents. Unlike Heirloom seed, hybrid seed need to be re-purchased new every year (and not saved). They usually will not grow true to type if you save them, but will revert to one of the parents they were crossed with and most likely look/taste different in some way.
