Blueberries are known as a 'superfruit'; rich in nutrients and antioxidants and widely recognised for their health benefits. The delicious versatile berries can be eaten fresh or cooked for use in pies and jam and some research has shown them to lower cholesterol and protect against various diseases.
Wild bees and other pollinators are in decline. This plant is recommended specifically by the RHS as part of the RHS plants for pollinators scheme. This scheme helps gardeners to easily identify plants that encourage bees and pollinators back into the garden.
You can find more plants for pollinators on our designated page here.

Enjoy fruit and vegetables straight from the garden. Nothing is healthier than freshly picked produce, eaten before the vitamins and natural sugars start to break down. The soft fruits that we sell are self-pollinating, so you only need one to get your first crop of delicious, home grown fruit.
Our plants may be delivered in an infant or dormant state but once exposed to sunlight, they will resume growing. We also recommend using a fertiliser or soil conditioner when repotting or relocating into the garden to help them establish quickly.
