Vaccinium angustifolium - Lowbush Blueberry

Market price from $13.50 to $26.99

Vaccinium angustifolium is a species affectionately known as the Lowbush Blueberry, a native North American shrub that serves a dual role of capturing the eye and satisfying the palate. Compact yet dynamic, this easy-to-manage shrub stands proud at a moderate height of up to 2 feet, flourishing in acidic, well-drained soils. With an adaptability to varying degrees of sun exposure, it modestly asks for moderate water usage while rewarding generously with vibrant clusters of white, bell-shaped flowers in spring. As seasons transition, those same clusters transform into edible orbs of flavor, the summer yield of tart blueberries that lend themselves to your culinary creativity. True to its temperament of continual surprise, the Lowbush Blueberry greets autumn with a dramatic costume change, parading foliage that sweeps from green to fiery red. This plant's charm extends beyond aesthetics, however, often doubling as a welcoming habitat for local wildlife, including pollinating bees. The Lowbush Blueberry is more than just a plant; it's a year-round spectacle, an edible delight, and a boon to local ecosystems. Invest in one today for a lush, vibrant, and fruitful addition to your landscape.
