Growing Darrow Blueberries

All blueberries need free draining, acid soil (around pH 5.5) or a pot filled with ericaceous compost. Make sure the soil is consistently moist during the growing season. They require ericoid rootgrow.

When they're ripe, the berries will be purple-blue on the back, and they'll come away easily from the plant.

Although some varieties are partially self-fertile, all blueberries will crop best with pollination partners nearby.

Aftercare: net your plants as the fruits develop and ripen, or the birds will have them all. If you're growing in pots, rainwater, not tap, is best. Take a look at our Guide to Growing Blueberry Plants.
