A compact deciduous fruiting shrub valued for its striking ornamental foliage and sweet blueberry production. In spring, clusters of small white bell-shaped flowers appear, followed by medium-sized, firm blue berries in early summer. The berries are mildly sweet with a balanced, classic blueberry flavor, perfect for fresh eating, baking, or preserves. New foliage emerges with attractive pink tones before maturing to glossy blue-green, while fall brings vibrant shades of turquoise and burgundy for extended seasonal interest.
Valued for edible fruit, colourful foliage, and a tidy, compact growth habit, it grows best in full sun and prefers moist, acidic, well-drained soil. Planting with other blueberry varieties can improve pollination and increase fruit production, making it an excellent choice for edible gardens, containers, and landscape borders.
