Description

This is your chance to pick your very own bumper crop of incredibly tasty blueberries straight from your patio pot - a delightful outcome from your busy gardening efforts!

Blueberries are known as superfoods, and are believed to carry all manner of health benefits. Packed full of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, they not only taste scrumptious, but are very good for you too!

This variety even provides long-lasting interest to your garden with wonderfully fragrant springtime white blossom, followed by the all-important delicious fruits in summer. The show does not stop there, as in the autumn, the dark green foliage provides a bright flourish of scarlet before falling in the winter.

'Ozark Blue' is one of the most popular blueberry varieties and a real favourite among chefs. A late-cropper, it will grow an abundance of delicious fruits in August and September, when most others are reaching the tail end of their season. The large and light blue shaded berries boast an instensely sweet flavour perfect for eating fresh from the bush, while also being a welcome addition to cakes, desserts, and jams.

An even more bountiful crop can be seen when grown near other blueberry bushes, so why not plant with earlier-fruiting varieties to ensure a constant supply of berries from the middle of summer through to early autumn days?

When planting out, remember to use ericaceous compost, which has a slightly acidic pH, as all blueberries are lime intolerant. Fully hardy, they will grow well throughout the UK, producing a stronger bounty of fruits when placed in a warm, sheltered position of the garden.

Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, ready for planting.

Top Tips
  • While tolerant of shade, blueberries crop better in the sun.

 

Care Information
  • Cover plants with netting when in fruit, otherwise you'll just end up feeding the birds, and not you!
  • Pick over the plants several times as not all the fruit ripens at the same time.
  • Fruits can be left on the bush for a few more days after they turn blue, leading to a more intense and complex flavour, when they will also easily pull away from the cluster.
  • Although self-fertile and able to produce a good crop on their own, a great yield of blueberries can be seen if planted near another variety.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
