10 Seeds Lowbush Blueberry Vaccinium angustifolium Native Shrub

Lowbush Blueberry is a low-growing, cold-hardy native shrub that produces small, sweet, flavorful berries on compact plants suited to borders, groundcover plantings, and wildlife-friendly landscapes. Its glossy green foliage turns attractive shades of red and bronze in autumn, and white to pinkish bell-shaped flowers appear in spring before the fruit ripens in mid to late summer. These berries are prized for fresh eating, baking, jams, and preserves, and the low stature makes the plants easy to manage in small gardens or containers. Plants spread gradually by underground stems to form a dense, productive colony over time.
