Vaccinium corymbosum 'ZF06-179' Jelly Bean Blueberry

Bushel and Berry® Jelly Bean® Blueberry (Vaccinium ZF06-179' PP #24,662) features a crop of beautiful, firm berries that ripen in mid-summer. The taste is nice and sweet like homemade blueberry jelly. Harvest them for your breakfast oatmeal, or bag them to freeze for smoothies and baked goods. Too busy? No problem, just let the local songbirds take their fill. Why not plant several of them as a mini hedge along a pathway? That way you'll have plenty for your needs, and support the birds, too. Butterflies appreciate these hard-working, petite shrubs, too. They'll come visit the jewel-toned, bell-shaped blooms filled with nectar in springtime. Grow these plants in patio pots for decoration on your porch or balcony. Or, grow them as a marvelous low edging plant in your foundation plantings or mixed borders with slightly acidic soil. Make sure to place them in a high-profile spot, as people will want to examine the highlights of red-tipped, elongated green leaves. This charming plant amazes garden visitors each time they come over. Imagine treating yourself to ripe, mid-season blueberries from your backyard! Jelly Bean Blueberry fruit is a sweet treat with aromatic flavors and antioxidants. Just be sure to plant them in well-drained, acidic soil with a pH between 4.5 and 5.5; or keep them in containers if you have alkaline soil.
