Overview

Introduce a touch of native charm and delicious fruit to your garden with these 10 Darrows Native Blueberry Starter Plug plants. These are live, healthy starter plants of Vaccinium darrowii plants, a remarkable low-growing, evergreen shrub. Native to the southeastern United States, particularly Florida, this species is highly valued not only for its ornamental qualities but also as a crucial parent in the development of many hybrid Southern highbush blueberry cultivars. This compact, mounded shrub typically reaches a modest height and width of 1 to 3 feet, making it an excellent choice for various garden settings, from borders to container planting. The new foliage emerges with an attractive purple or pinkish tinge, gradually maturing into a beautiful bluish-green hue, and can transform into a striking plum purple during the fall and winter months, adding year-round visual interest to your landscape.
