Success Starts With Soil

A versatile evergreen shrub featuring colorful copper-red new growth that matures to glossy deep green. Clusters of pinkish-white, bell-shaped flowers appear in spring, followed by sweet, edible blue-black berries in late summer. The berries are excellent fresh or for jams, preserves, and baking, while the evergreen foliage provides year-round interest. Grows as a dense, compact shrub in full sun or a taller, more open form in shade.

Growing Tips for Vaccinium ovatum

Plant in full sun to part shade and acidic, well-drained soil. Keep soil consistently moist, especially during establishment and hot, dry periods. Prune in late winter or after fruiting to maintain shape and remove dead or unwanted growth; it can also be sheared for a formal hedge.
