Vaccinium ovalifolium (Oval-leaved Blueberry)
A rare find, one of our region"s prized alpine blueberries! You can tell this is a huckleberry/blueberry by its pink urn-shaped flowers, which may appear before or with the oval-shaped leaves, starting in April and continuing into early June.
Where there are flowers, berries will soon follow (late June-August), and these are some of the yummiest native berries around! They are blue-black with a bluish bloom, distinguishing them from others that are shiny black.
This blueberry will grow very slowly, over time reaching a size ranging from 3-9 ft. by about 3-5 ft. wide. Expect a growth rate of 6-12 in. per year at the most.
These blueberries are found in a variety of habitats, usually preferring a little moisture in the soil. Therefore, you may need to give them supplemental summer water for longer than you might normally with a regional native plant - especially if you plant in full sun.
This blueberry is suited to your woodland garden and can be a companion to our lowland Red Huckleberry or Evergreen Huckleberry, along with native and water-wise perennials like False Solomon"s-seal or Helleborus.
Plant in sun to part shade or dappled shade, avoiding mid-day summer sun.
Note: We have been growing these plants for several years and they are ready to go into your landscape. They will start small, but flourish in the right landscape setting (vs. the pots they"ve been confined to for the past many years!). Enjoy nurturing these to maturity!
