Soil Requirements: | Best grown in organically rich, acidic, medium to wet, well-drained soil. Best planted in a sheltered spot. Plants will appreciate a good organic mulch. |

Flower: |
Cylindrical creamy-white flowers give way to clusters of medium-large blueberries that ripen mid-summer. |
Foliage: | Upright, bushy shrub with small, oval, dark green leaves that turn shades of red in the fall. Reddish stems are attractive in winter. |
Landscaping Ideas: |
Works well for ornamental purposes in addition to the fruit garden. Effective in shrub borders, or less formal native gardens. Great selection when grown with rhododendrons and azaleas, as they share the same acidic soil requirements. Self-fertile, but cross-pollination with a different variety that flowers at the same time produces a better crop. |
