Blueberries are always more productive when you grow several plants together. This superb collection offers three different varieties for maximum cross pollination and the very best crops. Delicious, firm fruits, which are packed full with healthy vitamins and antioxidants, are produced in summer on attractive, maneagable bushes. Attractive spring flowers and bright autumn foliage make these hardy shrubs a real asset to the garden. Blueberries can be grown in borders on acid soils, or in large patio containers where soils are more alkaline. Height and spread: Up to 180cm (71").

Blueberries require a well drained, acid soil in a sunny or semi shaded position. In areas where acid soil does not naturally occur, grow blueberry plants in patio containers using a mix of ericaceous compost and John Innes No. 3.
If possible, blueberries should be watered with rainwater because the lime contained in tap water will reduce the acidity in the soil over time. Blueberries will begin to produce fruit in their third year. As fruits begin to develop, cover the plants with netting to protect the berries from birds. From their third year, begin to prune out the oldest stems each autumn to promote new growth and maintain a healthy plant framework.
