These resilient plants promise not only delicious berries but also a spectacle of blooms and vibrant foliage, making them a dual delight for your garden and your taste buds. Fortunately, for very little effort, blueberries are easy to grow-if you have the right soil conditions. A relative of rhododendron and azalea, blueberry bushes aren't just a great fruiting plant but also an attractive addition to your overall landscape, offering scarlet fall foliage and creamy-white, bell-shaped spring flowers. There are 4-types of blueberries: highbush, lowbush, hybrid half-high, and rabbiteye. Blueberries can be planted in spring or also in late fall in all but coldest regions. In Zones 5 and below, it's best to wait until early to mid-spring to plant. Select a sunny, sheltered spot. While blueberries are tolerant of shade, better crops are obtained in the sun. At the same time, they should not be exposed to harsh, drying winds.
