Highbush Blueberry - Splendid™ Blue

$22.95
Splendid! Blue blueberry is the rare blueberry that combines incredible sweetness and flavor with genuine ornamental value. This tidy highbush blueberry naturally grows as a neat, rounded mound of dusky blue foliage. Spring brings lovely white flowers, and summer sees the development of luscious blueberries that are very sweet and flavorful. It will set fruit without a pollinator but sets more fruit, and larger fruit if a compatible pollinator.
