Lowbush Blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium) is a hardy native shrub treasured for its sweet edible berries, delicate spring flowers, and beautiful reddish-bronze fall foliage. Native to Northeastern North America, this compact deciduous shrub typically grows just 6 to 24 inches tall, making it ideal for borders, woodland gardens, native landscapes, and edible groundcover plantings.
In May, clusters of dainty, waxy, bell-shaped white to pale pink flowers appear among fresh green leaves. By summer, blue-black berries up to 1/2 inch ripen and attract birds and wildlife. In fall, foliage transforms into rich shades of bronze-red, while reddish stems provide subtle winter interest.
This 100-seed pack is perfect for larger edible plantings, native restoration projects, or gardeners looking to establish a productive berry patch.
You will receive:
✔️ 100 Vaccinium angustifolium seeds

🫐 Fruit & Pollination Note:
Plants are self-fertile, but cross-pollination improves berry size and yield. Birds love the fruit, so netting may be needed as berries ripen.
💡 Care Tip:
Soak seeds in water for 24 hours. Cold stratify for 60 days at 40°F in a moist (not wet) medium. Surface sow indoors under grow lights. Seeds require light to germinate. Use a humidity dome and mist regularly to maintain moisture.
