Garden Goods Direct | Low Bush Blueberry Bushes

Low Bush Blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium) is a highly versatile, low-maintenance blueberry bush. It is one of the easiest edible plants to care for and is often used in rustic décor and landscaping. Low Bush blooms in spring and offers bountiful fruit for the rest of the growing season. After harvest, the foliage begins to morph, revealing a stunning display of colors that lasts through the fall season. Bronze, orange, and rust-colored foliage give the blueberry bush year-round interest long after the last harvest. Low Bush Blueberry is tolerant of hot, humid conditions, and its medium-sized berries tend to ripen in late May to early June. Blueberries prefer full sun for the best fruit production and even moisture. Effective in shrub borders or as part of less formal shrub plantings – such as in native plant gardens or open woodland areas. Particularly effective in conjunction with rhododendrons and azaleas, which share similar acidic soil requirements. Low Bush Blueberry bushes also make an excellent hedge with the added benefits of summer fruit which can be harvested or left for the birds.
