Organic Bilberry Seeds - Fruit Plant

Organic Bilberry Seeds produce low growing perennial shrubs known for their small dark blue berries and natural woodland growth habit. These plants thrive in cool climates and acidic soils, forming compact spreading shrubs with green foliage and seasonal flowering. Small bell shaped flowers appear in spring followed by berry production during the growing season. Bilberry plants are commonly used in woodland gardens, forest style landscapes, and naturalized planting areas. They grow best in partial shade with moist, well drained organic soil.
