Hailed by nutritionists as a so-called 'super food', the humble blueberry has enjoyed a surge in popularity in recent years, and it isn't difficult to see why. Not only are blueberries celebrated for their supposed anti-aging, fat burning properties and high levels of vitamin C and antioxidants, but they also taste delicious when cooked into jams and desserts, and are highly rewarding to grow as a potted shrub. The disease resistant and cold-hardy Blueberry Giant Patriot produces some of the largest and most flavoursome fruits of all blueberry varieties. This impressive specimen yields a heavy crop of fruit during July and August as well as producing fragrant foliage which is highly attractive to bees and other pollinators. Grows to a mature height of one metre, supplied as a 9cm potted plant.

Blueberries will need to be planted in fertile, acidic soil (so plant with plenty of peat). Plant deep as reproduction/new growth are by underground suckers.
They will thrive with regular nitrogen feeding and like regular doses of manure. They are self-fertile, but heavy crops are achieved by cross pollination between two plants.
