Bushel and Berry® Perpetua Blueberry

The Bushel & Berry® Perpetua Blueberry is a breakthrough development, and the first blueberry bush to carry a second crop in the same year. A compact bush eventually reaching 4 or 5 feet tall, it has two heavy crops of delicious small berries, ideal for eating fresh or baking. It has berries in June, and again in September, continuing through October until cold weather arrives. The attractive green foliage, flushed pink in spring and bright red in fall, makes this plant ideal for growing among your flowering shrubs. If you don’t have suitable soil, grow it in a planter box or pot right outside the kitchen door.

• Carries a big crop of berries in June and again in September
• Compact bush with attractive rich green leaves
• New leaves are flushed pink, and fall leaves are bright red
• Ideal for container growing if your garden soil is unsuitable
• Grows well across most zones

Grow your Bushel & Berry® Perpetua Blueberry in full sun, as this will give you the biggest crop and the best fall production. Grow it in rich, moist, acidic soil with a pH value of 5.5 or lower. If you don’t have suitable soil, grow it in a pot, using soil blended for acid-loving plants. Water regularly, as blueberries are not drought resistant. Fertilize plants in spring and again in mid-summer for the best results. No fancy pruning is needed, and this variety has good disease resistance.
