Vaccinium Myrtillus Seeds for Planting - Fruit Plant

Vaccinium Myrtillus Seeds produce low growing perennial shrubs known for their small dark blue berries and compact woodland growth habit. These plants naturally grow in cool forest environments and acidic soils, forming spreading shrubs with green foliage and seasonal flowering. Small bell shaped flowers develop in spring followed by berry production during the growing season. The plants are commonly used in woodland gardens, naturalized landscapes, and forest style edible plantings. They perform best in partial shade with moist, well drained acidic soil.
