Vaccinium angustifolium, commonly known as Lowbush Blueberry, is an incredible native perennial shrub that thrives in open conifer woods, sandy or rocky balds, and old fields, making it a versatile addition to any garden. Reaching up to 2 feet tall, Lowbush Blueberry boasts glossy green leaves that transform into a spectacular maroon-purple in the fall, offering year-round visual appeal. Plant this beauty in full sun or partial shade with acidic, moist-to-dry soils for optimal growth.

This shrub is not only a delight for the eyes but also a boon for native wildlife. Its small, pink-tinged, white bell-shaped flowers bloom in the spring, leading to the production of sweet, edible blue berries cherished by both humans and wildlife. Supporting around 300 butterfly, moth, and bee species, including the at-risk Half-Black Bumble Bee, V. angustifolium plays a vital role in your local ecosystem. For the best fruit production, plant multiple shrubs.

Perfect for jams, jellies, or a fresh snack, these berries are a treat for all. Elevate your garden's beauty and biodiversity with this extraordinary shrub, perfect for garden enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.
