Gardening: The Blues

Reviewed by:

Originally used for everything from teas to cough medicine, blueberry plants have been around since the English settlers first arrived in America 400 years ago.

Grown and cultivated in Maine, these highbush blueberry plants are 18-30" tall and include three plants -- an early, a midseason and a late variety --which creates an extended harvest time.

Plan on savoring your first homegrown berries the second or third year after planting. Growing instructions are included. Blueberry plants can't be shipped to California, Hawaii or internationally.
