Enjoy two harvests of sweet, flavourful berries every year, in July and again in September.
Stunning year-round interest with semi-evergreen, blue-green leaves that turn a fiery scarlet in autumn.
Produces abundant crops of large, dark blue berries with a wonderfully sweet and juicy taste.
A magnet for bees and other pollinators, proudly holding the RHS 'Plants for Pollinators' award.
Delicate, bell-shaped, pink-flushed white flowers adorn the plant in late spring.
Its compact, bushy habit makes it perfect for garden borders or growing in a patio pot.

Species: Blueberry
Flowering: March to May
Harvesting: July and September
Flowers: Bell-shaped, pink-flushed white flowers
Foliage: Semi-evergreen with fantastic autumn colour
Position: Full sun
Soil: Light, free-draining acidic soil. If your soil is not acidic, plant in a pot with ericaceous compost.
Hardiness: H6 - fully hardy throughout the UK and requires no winter protection.
Habit: A compact, bushy and well-branched plant
Pollination: Self-fertile, produces good crops without a pollination partner.

Planting Time: Can be planted all year round.
Spacing: Plant at least 50cm apart to allow for spreading.
Pruning: Pruning is rarely needed in the first two years. Afterwards, prune any misplaced branches during the dormant season (November to March).
Watering: Water regularly, especially in summer. Wherever possible, water your blueberry bushes with rainwater as tap water can reduce soil acidity.
Feeding: Blueberries need minimal feeding. A yearly mulch of organic matter such as bark chips in late winter is sufficient.
Pest & Disease: Excellent pest and disease resistance. You may need to protect the developing fruit from birds with netting.
