Jazz Seeds are the cheapest thing on Pierre's spring shelf worth buying for a reason other than the harvest. The flower they raise, Blue Jazz, fetches little over a counter, but a Bee House standing beside one turns out Blue Jazz Honey instead of the plain kind, and that jar is worth several times as much. A week in the soil is all the seed asks, so almost any spring morning is still early enough to sow. A boat moored at the Night Market puts the packet on sale months before Spring arrives, at the price Pierre charges in season. One seed also sits in the recipe for the Tub o' Flowers, so a single packet has work waiting even after the bees are fed.

The in-game description reads: Plant in spring. Takes 7 days to produce a blue puffball flower.


Growing

The seed wants a week of watering and then gives one flower. Nothing comes back on the tile afterwards, so a second bloom means a second seed.

Seven days leaves a wide sowing window. A packet pressed in on the twenty-first of Spring still opens on the closing day of the season, which makes jazz a sensible use of soil that has just come free from something faster. Anything sown later dies at the turn into Summer.

What matters far more than the harvest date is whether the flower is picked at all. A Bee House takes its flavour from a flower within about five tiles of it, and it reads that flower at the moment the jar is collected rather than when the bees begin work. A Blue Jazz cut down before the jar comes out of the hive leaves the bees with nothing to work from, and the honey arrives as the ordinary sort. The flower is therefore worth more standing than harvested, so the best setup is a cluster of hives around one untouched plant.

Greenhouse soil keeps a flower upright all year, which suits a hive line that would otherwise go flavourless from the first day of Summer.

Buying

Pierre's General Store carries the packet for the whole of Spring and is plainly the cheapest counter. JojaMart lists the identical seed for a little more, so the membership only helps on the days Pierre shuts his doors.

The Night Market is the better plan for anyone thinking a season ahead. Winter the fifteenth is spring seed night on the Magic Shop Boat, and Jazz Seeds are on that list at the shop figure. Shopping that night means the first flower is already watered when Spring opens, instead of being queued for at a counter.

Mixed Flower Seeds are the free route in. Sown in Spring they come up as either Blue Jazz or a Tulip, so a handful gathered off summer weeds the year before will seed a hive field for nothing at all.

A Seed Maker fed a Blue Jazz hands seed back as well. The flower is cheap enough that the machine earns more pointed at expensive crops, but it does mean a Greenhouse plant never needs restocking.

Jazz turns up in the Traveling Cart's rotation occasionally, priced the way everything on that wagon is priced. She is only worth the coin mid-season with the shop closed.

Uses

Pierre sets out a stand at the Flower Dance, and the recipe for the Tub o' Flowers is on it. Building the tub takes Wood with one each of Jazz Seeds, a Tulip Bulb, Poppy Seeds and Spangle Seeds, and Spangle Seeds come from that same festival stand, so the Flower Dance is the day to gather the whole set at once.

Only the Seed Maker has any use for the item itself, and it works in reverse: a bloom goes in and packets come out.

Wrapping the packet up as a present is a wasted effort, since nobody in Pelican Town cares for a bag of flower seed.

Crafting Jazz Seeds with the other materials below makes these items.

Notes

Build the hives before the flower goes in. A Bee House already in place on the first morning of Spring starts on a flavoured jar the moment the jazz opens, while a hive put down afterwards wastes its first cycle on nothing.

Scatter the jazz rather than massing it. One standing flower serves every hive that can reach it, so a thin line of plants running through a field of Bee Houses serves far more of them than a dense bed in one corner.
