Bloomsz Blueberry Bush in Decorative Planter, Northern High

Blueberry bushes make perfect patio plants. Truly low maintenance, they can be grown anywhere outdoors: on a deck, a balcony or a patio. The dark blue-green foliage may turns to rich autumn hues as fall approaches. The white to very light pink flowers are long bell or urn-shaped. Deep blue berries can be eaten straight from the plant, served with whipped cream or ice cream or baked in pies or muffins. The included, color-coordinated metal pot with handles makes it easy to move your blueberry bush from one location to another. Fast growing and self-pollinating both indoors and outdoors makes blueberries excellent container plants. The specific variety has been selected based upon your region. Heat and drought tolerant, but remember to keep the soil moist as blueberries require more water than some other plants. Excellent gift for Mother's Day, Father's Day, housewarmings and to show appreciation for a teacher at the end of the school year.
