1 Vaccinium myrtillus / European Blueberry Plant in9cm Pot, Very Tasty Fruit
V. myrtillus is a deciduous, suckering shrub to 30cm high with dense, bright green stems and ovate, glossy leaves that are often flushed red in autumn. Pendant, rounded to urn-shaped, pink flowers borne in the leaf axilsin late spring to early summer are followed by blue-black, edible berries - similar to blueberries only smaller.
Blueberries are North American fruits, gaining in popularity in gardens, especially those on acid soils. Elsewhere the bushes must be grown in large containers of ericaceous, lime-free, compost. They are decorative plants, especially in autumn, and may be grown in shrub borders. The secret of success is lavish annual feeding, with plenty of water, preferably rainwater, in summer.
