Blueberries

Growing blueberry bushes is so rewarding for home gardeners. Not only do these bushes produce delightfully flavored berries—but the plants can be quite ornamental too. Their size makes them easy to fit into the garden and landscape. Some varieties are even suitable for container gardening! Blueberry bushes grow best in full sun (six or more hours of direct sunlight daily) and in acidic soil. If your soil is neutral or alkaline, consider growing blueberry bushes in containers. When selecting blueberry plants to buy, make sure the variety you choose is suitable for your hardiness zone. Some blueberry bushes are better suited for Southern gardens, while others do well in Northern gardens.
