Lowbush Blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium) is a hardy native shrub prized for its sweet edible berries, delicate spring flowers, and beautiful reddish-bronze fall color. Naturally growing in moist woods and bogs of Northeastern North America, this compact deciduous shrub reaches just 6 to 24 inches tall, making it perfect for borders, woodland gardens, and edible landscapes.
In May, masses of small, waxy, bell-shaped white to pink flowers appear alongside fresh green foliage. By summer, blue-black berries up to 1/2 inch ripen, attracting birds and wildlife. In autumn, foliage transforms into rich reddish bronze tones, and reddish stems provide subtle winter interest.
This 30-seed pack is ideal for home gardeners looking to grow native edible plants or add multi-season beauty to smaller garden spaces.
You will receive:
✔️ 30 Vaccinium angustifolium seeds

🫐 Fruit & Pollination Note:
Plants are self-fertile, but cross-pollination improves berry size and yield. Birds love the fruit — netting may be needed to protect ripening berries.
💡 Care Tip:
Soak seeds 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. Keep moist with a mister and use a humidity dome.
