Make The Patio Pop
Petunias in the spring, geraniums in the summer, mums in the fall – why not try a potted blueberry as fresh and fun patio décor this year? Pink Icing® is a great, multi-season pick due to its tricolor foliage that eventually deepens to deep purple in the fall. At only 2-feet high, it doesn’t take over tight spaces and will grow well in a 16-inch container.
Plant A Hedge
Tired of copy/paste boxwood hedging? Try BerryBux® blueberry! The tidy, glossy foliage gives the look of a traditional boxwood design but with the benefit and whimsy of white bell-shaped flowers in spring and blueberries in summer.
Hang Around
Running out of planting space? Look up! Midnight Cascade has a trailing habit that is perfect for hanging baskets. This is also a great solution for gardeners who battle rabbits, deer, and other ground-dwelling wildlife that like to snack on edible plants. Elevate your berries and keep more for yourself.
Mix It Up
Already growing herbs and want to expand your garnish garden? Try a blueberry and herb mixed container! Jelly Bean® and thyme is a popular combination, but most herbs will grow just fine planted in the slightly acidic soil needed to produce healthy blueberries. Watch and learn how to plant a mixed container here!
Treat Yourself
The best way to celebrate your gardening success? Eating the berries! Bushel and Berry® has a full recipe library with easy, step-by-step recipes to help you use your harvest. While nothing tastes better than a berry picked right off the bush, a handful of fruit swirled into a freshly baked cake is a pretty close second!
