Plant in a Box Vaccinium corymbosum 'Sunshine Blue' - Set of 6 blueberries

Blueberry plants, also known as Vaccinium corymbosum, are fantastic additions to your garden or vegetable patch. In addition to delicious blueberries, the plants produce creamy white flowers in summer and rusty red leaves in spring. When you grow blueberry bushes in acidic soil, you will enjoy sweet, juicy, and vitamin-rich berries. Blueberry plants are low-maintenance and thrive in lime-free, acidic soils. The best results are achieved by planting two different varieties of blueberries to ensure good pollination. With the right care and pruning, these popular fruit plants will bear fruit for many years.

The blueberry bushes can reach a maximum height of two meters and are completely hardy in winter. The bushes produce blueberry-like berries that are three times larger than those of the native blueberry. Blueberries require moist, acidic soil. Vaccinium should preferably be planted in full sun. Pruning is best done in early spring before growth begins. Blueberry plants bear fruit from July to October, so fertilize the plant in spring. You can also enjoy this plant in the autumn months when it turns a beautiful red.
