Product description
Blueberry Darrow is a late season fruiting variety of blueberry plant, producing firm, larger than average berries. Deciduous green leaves appear in spring and remain green throughout the summer months. In autumn, they will turn to a fiery burnt orange, before dropping off during the winter months. Delicate, white flowers bloom in spring, before plump, large blueberries begin to appear in mid to late August into September.
Plant Blueberry Darrow in moist, well-drained, acidic soil and in full sun. This is a hardy, fast-growing plant which is loved by pollinators. The blueberries have a tart, mildly sweet taste, making them well-suited for cooking, although they can be eaten fresh from the plant too. They'll be a delicious raw snack full of antioxidants, and can be consumed on their own or as a delightful addition to pancakes or porridge.
Please Note: Images are for illustrative purposes only and designed to be a representation of the item(s) being sold. Depending on seasonality, deciduous plants may be supplied in their dormant state and without leaves. Plants may also be pruned back, lower than stated heights, to encourage new growth.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Birds love blueberries, so protect your crops with netting, especially as they ripen.
How to Water
Keep blueberries well-watered, especially during the growing season. Avoid overwatering and use rainwater wherever possible.
How to Plant
Dig in plenty of acid-rich organic matter, such as pine needles and composted conifer bark, before planting blueberries in full sun in moist but well-draining soil. Choose a sheltered spot and bear in mind that while blueberries tolerate light shade, they provide more generous crops in full sun.
