- Produces a heavy crop of exceptionally sweet, deep blue berries, ready to harvest through July and August.
- A friend to wildlife, this RHS award-winning variety is fantastic for attracting bees and other pollinators.

- Species: Blueberry
- Features: Fantastic foliage, Fully hardy
- Flowering: March, April, May
- Harvest: June, July, August
- Flower Colour: Creamy white lightly scented flowers
- Position: Full sun
- Ideal for: Beds & borders, Pots
- Spread: Approx 50-100cm
- Habit: An upright, bushy and well-branched plant
- Hardiness: H6 - hardy throughout the UK and requires no winter protection.
- Soil Type: Blueberries need light, free-draining acidic soil. If your soil is not acidic, plant your blueberries in a pot with ericaceous compost.
- Pollination: Self-fertile, produces good crops without a pollination partner so you only need one plant.
- Uses: Eat fresh, cook or make into jam
- Tasting Notes: Sweet and juicy
- Planting Time: Can be planted year-round.
- Spacing: Plant at least 50cm apart to allow for spreading.
- Watering: Water regularly in summer. Wherever possible, water your blueberry bushes with rainwater. Tap water will raise the pH level and blueberries prefer acidic conditions.
- Feeding: Blueberries need minimal feeding other than a yearly mulch of organic matter such as bark chips in late winter. Avoid overfeeding, as blueberries are sensitive to high fertiliser levels.
- Pruning: Prune during the dormant season (November to March). Pruning is rarely needed in the first two years, just remove any crossing or misplaced branches.
- Pest & Disease: Excellent pest and disease resistance. You may need to protect the developing fruit with netting to avoid birds eating it.
