Plump, juicy blueberries aren?t just delicious. They?re high in nutrients, antioxidants, fiber, and vitamins. 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 four 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.
