Blueberry 'Bountiful Blue' (Vaccinium corymbosum 'FLX-2' PP#19,381): Blue Foliage and Sweet Fruit

Bountiful Blue® Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum 'FLX-2' P.P.# 19,381) is an award-winning variety with the bluest foliage of all! Pink-blushed flowers produce a large crop of large, sweet, juicy berries on a compact, mounded shrub. Perfect for massing in the landscape or featuring in large tubs. Self-fertile, though planting another variety may yield a more prolific harvest. Requires just 150-200 winter chill hours. Semi-evergreen in mild climates.

Care: Provide rich, acidic, well-drained soil. Water regularly during the growing season to maintain a deep, extensive root system. In extremely hot and arid summer areas, best with some shelter from harsh, reflected afternoon sun. Before new growth begins, prune off twiggy growth, leaving only main stems to prevent overbearing.
