GROW BLUEBERRIE­S IN POTS

THRIFTY TIP

-

Blueberrie­s are expensive to buy, but an establishe­d plant will provide lots of berries. They need lime-free soil so if your soil is not acid, grow them in decentsize­d pots of ericaceous compost. Blueberrie­s are attractive plants with bell-shaped white flowers, good autumn colour and the bright berries. You can even get a pink variety called Vaccinium corymbosum ‘Pink Lemonade’.
