Overview
Vaccinium corymbosum Blueroma® is a highbush blueberry grown for its abundant crops of sweet, aromatic berries and its outstanding ornamental value. Clusters of delicate white, bell-shaped flowers appear in spring, followed by blue berries that ripen in summer. In autumn, the foliage turns brilliant shades of red, orange and crimson, extending the plant's seasonal interest. Supplied as an organically grown plant in a 3 litre pot at approximately 55 cm tall, this deciduous fruit shrub is an excellent choice for kitchen gardens, edible landscapes and large patio containers.
Why We Love It
Blueroma® combines excellent fruit quality with attractive seasonal interest, making it as valuable in ornamental planting as it is in the kitchen garden. Its colourful autumn foliage ensures it remains a feature long after the harvest has finished.

Growing Guide
| Position & Soil | Grow in full sun or partial shade in acidic, moisture-retentive, well-drained soil. Where garden soil is neutral or alkaline, blueberries perform best in large containers filled with ericaceous compost. |
|---|---|
| Watering | Water regularly, especially during dry weather, as blueberries have relatively shallow roots and benefit from consistently moist soil. |
| Soil Care | Apply a mulch suitable for acid-loving plants each spring to help conserve moisture and maintain soil conditions. |
| Pruning | Prune lightly during the dormant season by removing older or weak stems to encourage healthy new growth and continued cropping. |
| Harvesting | Harvest the berries once they have developed their full blue colour and come away easily from the stem. Delicious eaten fresh, baking, desserts, smoothies, preserves and freezing. |
| Wildlife | The spring flowers attract bees and other pollinating insects, while the dense branching provides useful shelter for garden wildlife. |
