Vaccinium 'Hortblue Petite'

The world’s first double-cropping blueberry, produces a crop in July followed by a further crop in September. The dark blue berries are small but have an excellent flavour. Reaching a maximum height of 3ft, this compact variety is perfect for patio containers.

RHS Perfect for Pollinators


Pollination: Self-fertile.


Season: July & Sept.

Blueberries are very expensive to buy in the shops, yet they are easy to grow and once established will crop reliably year after year. As well as being suitable for growing in the open ground (they do require an acid soil), they are perfect for growing in containers (using an ericaceous compost). With pretty white bell shaped spring flowers, succulent summer fruits and brilliant autumn foliage, they make exceptionally good patio plants. Blueberries are self-fertile but it is best to plant two different varieties to improve pollination. Plant 1.2-1.5m (4-5ft) apart.

 

Please note - where we quote a height on despatch, this is measured from the base of the pot.
