Prefers well-draining soil and a bit of fertilization in the spring. To keep its tidy shape, prune during winter dormancy. This little blueberry shrub is perfect for container gardening, raised beds or in the garden.
Fruit: This plant sets fruit on previous year’s canes and will produce new canes each year. Each year, prune only the canes that produced fruit for that year.
