Enjoy an early summer harvest of sweet-tart berries, similar in taste to blueberries.
Unlike blueberries, this easy-to-grow bush thrives in most well-drained soils without needing acidic conditions.
Features charming white, trumpet-shaped flowers in spring and vibrant green foliage, making it an attractive garden shrub.
A true superfood, honeyberries are packed with vitamins A and C and a high concentration of antioxidants.
Exceptionally hardy, this robust plant will withstand even the most severe British winters down to -20°C.
'Blue Velvet' is self-fertile, but planting a partner honeyberry nearby will result in a much larger crop.

Species: Honeyberry
Features: Fully hardy, Self fertile
Flowering: March, April, May
Harvest: June
Planting: All year round
Flower Colour: White
Position: Full sun to partial shade

Plant 1.5m apart to allow for its spreading habit. It can be grown in beds, borders, or large pots.
Keep your honeyberry bush well-watered throughout its first growing season. Once established, it will only need watering in hot, dry spells.
Give your bush a balanced fertiliser feed every spring and apply a layer of mulch in the autumn.
For the first three years, simply remove any dead or damaged material. Afterwards, prune annually post-harvesting, thinning out congested shoots to encourage new growth.
This variety is rarely troubled by pests or diseases.
