How to Use Bluegold Blueberry in the Landscape

You'll want to get your soil tested, if you'd like to grow Bluegold in the ground. They have a specific soil pH requirement on the acidic side between 4.5 to 5.5.

If there are Piney woods near your home, or you see the brilliant spring display of Rhododendrons or Lupines in the wild, you'll probably be just fine.

Otherwise, you may have soil that is alkaline. Grow Bluegold in exterior containers and control the soil environment.

Why not try a long row of Blueberries in matching containers along your patio? You'll spark conversation and boost your food security at the same time.

Take a look around your neighborhood.

Are the cute newlyweds down the street really ripping out their foundation planting to put in Blueberry plants, Serviceberry and Aronia bushes with a Peach tree as an anchor? Yes...they are.

Edible Landscaping is a huge garden trend that will only get bigger. Take advantage of the beauty and bounty delivered by Bluegold.

Create a hedgerow by planting four to six feet apart on center. You'll measure from the center of one to the center of the next.

#ProPlantTips for Care

Bluegold performs best in full sun to partial shade. Give it at least four hours of direct sun a day, with a preference for morning sun.

Well-drained soil is critical. Plant in a raised bed if you need to improve the drainage of your site. Or, use them in containers.

Ensure their shallow root system has the space it needs to grow by selecting a wide pot. Drill extra drainage holes and raise up the pot on bricks or clay feet.

Fill containers with a soil mix for acid loving plants. Add 25 perfect pathway bark or peat moss. Mulch with pine straw or bark.

Give plants a moderate amount of water on a regular basis, especially during fruit development. We recommend collecting rain water for Blueberry bushes. It is neutral pH.

In early spring, fertilize with a formula for acid-loving plants according to the directions on the label. You'll want to test to ensure you maintain acidic soil.

Most importantly, give Bluegold Blueberry a place of honor in your space. Enjoy those firm, tasty berries!
