Blueberry Elizabeth also known as Vaccinium Corymbosum, is a variety of blueberry plant. These fruit plants have deciduous, green foliage which turns fiery orange and red in autumn, before dying off each winter. In spring, when leaves return, small, sweetly scented, white flowers bloom before a crop of berries begins to ripen, ready for harvest from mid-July and continuing until late summer. This variety of blueberry plant produces clusters of large blue berries with an incredibly sweet flavour. Blueberries are packed with vitamins and antioxidants, and they are fabulous for making preserves, adding to muffins and pies or for adding to pancakes. Blueberry plants will grow best in moist, well-drained, acidic soil planted beside another blueberry plant to increase pollination. Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only.
