A superb mid-season variety, 'Draper' produces large, firm blueberries in mid-summer.
The firm texture makes these berries ideal for freezing, preserving your abundant harvest.
In spring, the bush is adorned with delightful, bell-shaped pink or white flowers.
Recognised by the Royal Horticultural Society as a Plant for Pollinators, it will attract bees to your garden.
Offers year-round interest, with its green leaves turning a vibrant red in autumn.
Enjoy these sweet, tangy superfoods fresh from the bush, dried for snacks, or baked into muffins.

Pruning: No pruning is required for the first two years. Once mature, prune annually in late winter or early spring to encourage a healthy mix of new and old growth.
