Should the plants in your garden be ornamental or useful? Why not both! With Splendid!® Blue highbush blueberry, you get a handsome landscape plant with a rounded habit and dusty light blue foliage. That view is joined by an impressive show of tiny white, bell-shaped blooms in the spring. Later on, those flowers turn to extremely tasty fruit, even if there isn’t a compatible pollinator plant nearby. But note that you will definitely get a heavier fruit set if you plant another highbush blueberry nearby.
