The Vaccinium Blueberry is a highly productive, fruit-bearing shrub known for its sweet, antioxidant-rich berries and ornamental value. In addition to their delicious fruit, they provide attractive flowers in spring, lush green foliage in summer, and brilliant red to purple fall color.
Foliage: Glossy green leaves turn vibrant red, orange, or purple in fall, adding seasonal interest to the landscape.
Flowers: Clusters of small, white to pale pink, bell-shaped flowers bloom in spring, attracting bees and other pollinators.
Fruit: Produces small to large, deep blue berries that ripen in mid to late summer, depending on the variety. The berries are sweet, juicy, and high in antioxidants, making them a favorite for fresh eating, baking, and preserves.
Growth Habit: Grows as a compact to medium-sized shrub, depending on the variety. Highbush types grow taller, while lowbush varieties remain closer to the ground.
Climate: Thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers acidic, well-drained soil with a pH of 4.5-5.5. Requires consistent moisture for best fruit production.
Maintenance: Requires pruning after fruiting to encourage new growth and higher yields. Mulching helps retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Many varieties benefit from planting multiple cultivars for cross-pollination and better fruit production.
Landscape Uses: Ideal for edible gardens, borders, hedges, and container plantings. Vaccinium Blueberry is a beautiful, multi-season shrub that provides fruit, flowers, and fall color, making it a valuable addition to any garden.
