Blueberries are unmatched in their versatility, they can be used as stand-alone plant, either in a garden border or as part of a kitchen garden. Perfect as a hedge and ideal as a container plant. In addition to the yummy Blueberries they have ‘Lily of the valley’ like flowers and attractive autumn foliage.

High antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties enhance the longer the fruit is left on the plant. Blueberries are a good source of dietary fibre, with reasonable levels of vitamins C, A, E and several B. Studies have shown that Blueberries enable people to be 5-6% better at motor skills if consuming a cup of Blueberries daily.

Blueberries prefer a sunny position while tolerating some afternoon shade. They are wind tolerant and cold hardy. Good soil quality is preferred. Heavy clay soils will need to be improved with lots of organic matter. A raised garden will help with drainage in heavy soils. Blueberries have a shallow fibrous root system and, as such, like a good layer of mulch.
