Product description

Whortleberry Seeds produce low growing perennial shrubs that yield small dark blue edible berries. These plants are naturally adapted to cool forest and upland environments, often thriving in acidic, well drained soils. The shrubs form compact spreading growth close to the ground and produce small bell shaped flowers in spring followed by berry development in the growing season. They are commonly used in woodland gardens, naturalized landscapes, and edible forest plantings. Whortleberries prefer partial shade and consistent soil moisture for healthy growth.
