'Northland' Blueberry Bush
- Blueberries are perhaps the perfect example of "doing what they say on the tin"... Blue? Check. Berries? Also check. Absolutely delicious? Check, check and check!
- 'Northland' is an American variety known for its cold hardiness (H6 on the RHS scale) and incredible flavour, pairing fresh sweetness with crisp, tart notes
- Dainty, nodding white blooms are produced in abundance in the springtime, contrasting wonderfully with the plant's rich green foliage. In the autumn months, the leaves take on fiery orange and red shades
- If your garden has naturally acidic soil, then you can plant this blueberry bush in your beds or borders (if not, then you can acidify the soil using sulphur). Alternatively, it makes a great option for container planting and keeping on the patio
- Easy to grow and hassle-free, blueberry bushes are a fantastic fruit for beginners to grow
- Wondering what to do with your bumper blueberry crop? Besides popping them straight in your mouth after picking, you can juice them or whip up a batch of fluffy blueberry muffins

Over 99% of our plants are grown in the UK, but where that’s not possible, Mike sources the best specialist growers in Europe for the job. Think citrus warmed by Sicilian sun, topiary trained by Dutch masters, almonds nourished in the Dordogne and bamboo bathed in Tuscan heat. Our handpicked growers nurture these plants to maturity before handing over to our team in the Cotswolds, to toughen them up for UK gardens.
