Fruit, Blueberry Jelly Bean

Vaccinium corymbosum

Perfect in pots, this exciting dwarf variety produces full-size fruit on a small-sized plant. Features dainty clusters of white bell-shaped flowers with shell pink overtones in mid spring followed by sweet blueberries in mid-summer. Glossy, elongated leaves with red highlights turn yellow and red in the fall. Blueberries require acidic, well-drained soil and full sun for best performance. For heavier clay soils, the addition of soil sulfur helps to lower the pH while shredded pine or pine fines will improve aeration and drainage. While self-pollinating, a different blueberry planted nearby will improve both the fruit size and quantity.
