If you weren’t already sold on the idea of growing a blueberry, Well's Delight Creeping Blueberry might be just the sort of plant to change your mind! Unlike the typical shrub-like blueberry form, this selection of Creeping Blueberry grows into a lovely compact ground cover, still topped with abundant fruit in summer. The evergreen leaves emerge in spring with a rusty hue, aging to a rich glossy green, nicely blanketing the ground all year long. For the best fruit production, plant this cutie in full to partial sun in a lightly moist spot with slightly rich acid and/or sandy soils.
Conditions: Full to part sun; medium to moist soils
