Description
Lowbush Blueberry is a hardy native shrub prized for its intensely flavorful, small blue berries. Though it produces a moderate yield, its tart, firm fruit is considered the best-tasting of all blueberries. In spring, delicate white bell-shaped flowers bloom, followed by deep green foliage that turns vibrant scarlet in fall.
Ideal for Massachusetts landscapes, this compact, low-growing shrub thrives in acidic soil with proper drainage and mulch. Its dense, spreading habit makes it excellent for naturalizing, erosion control, or as an edible ground cover. With unmatched cold tolerance, Lowbush Blueberry is a dependable and attractive addition to any garden.
Each plant comes in a #1 (1 gallon) growers container. The image shown represents an example of what you may receive. Please note that the height, shape, and fullness of each plant may vary due to natural growth patterns. Rest assured, we will select the healthiest and most vibrant plant for you.
