Legacy Blueberry

The Legacy Blueberry is both a very late-ripening northern highbush blueberry that extends the season for fresh berries, and also one of the best-flavored blueberries available. Together these qualities make it highly desirable, grown alone or as part of a collection. It is also a handsome shrub, with attractive white spring flowers and brilliant red fall color, so you can grow it among your flowering shrubs, without needing a special area. It grows well in containers if you don’t have the necessary type of soil for blueberries.

• Very late ripening to extend the fresh berry season
• Very high quality and richly flavored berries
• Attractive shrub that can be grown in among your flowers
• Good heat and drought tolerance
• Suitable for pot growing too

The Legacy Blueberry will grow best in full sun or a little partial shade. Plant it in moist, well-drained soil, although this variety, once established, is more heat and drought resistant than most others. The soil must have a pH value between 4.5 and 5.5, so if you don’t have that, plant it in a large tub or container, using acidic compost you can easily mix at home.
