Lowbush Blueberry, Low-Bush Blueberry, Late Sweet Blueberry
Vaccinium angustifolium (Lowbush Blueberry) is an American beauty with a long-lasting show in the landscape. In spring, it features attractive clusters of small, waxy, white, pink-tinged, bell-shaped flowers. They are followed by abundant, juicy, and edible blue berries in summer – a delight for birds, wildlife, and humans alike! Its glossy, lustrous foliage turns from reddish-green in spring to bluish-green in summer and spectacular shades of bronze, scarlet, and crimson in fall. Even winter provides charming interest, with the yellow-green to reddish twiggy branches forming a lovely silhouette.
