Southern Sparkle

Southern Sparkle is another lovely pink, with anthocyanin shoulders that comes out of breeder, Blane Horton’s Mason Dixon project from 2012. The plants are very robust indeterminate vines, with regular leaf foliage that can possibly show slight amounts of purple on the plants early on in its younger stages. Fruit sizes will vary from 6 to 12 ounces, and can throw both singles and doubles at any time of the season. If one were to compare flavors with other similar types, Pink Siberian Tiger and Sgt. Pepper’s come to mind, as they are some of the best color combinations in this class. Seeds are available at Galacticmagicseeds.com
