Go ahead and plant groupings around your back seating areas for some screening and add a few in sunny patio pots or on your balcony!

Perfect for raised bed plantings and large containers, they are beautiful landscape plants and fit into any border or perennial bed with ease! In the fall the leaves turn a vibrant red-orange that lights up the landscape, giving you 3 seasons of ornamental beauty!

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Give St. Cloud six hours of sun or more a day and plant another cold climate Blueberry to cross-pollinate and you'll have mouthwatering berries all growing season long! These are easy-going plants, but they have shallow root systems, so plant in enriched fertile organic soil and mulch the root system well.

  • Full Sun
  • Slightly Acidic Well-Drained Soil
  • Moderate Consistent Moisture & Mulched Beds
  • Prune When Dormant
  • 800-1000 Chill Hours
