Birds will appreciate the berries, too, but be sure to net your bushes if you want to save some for your pies, jams, and fresh eating. GROWING INSTRUCTIONS:Best results are obtained if started inside in late winter or early spring, but they will germinate anytime of the year provided they are given ample light and warmth. Before sowing, the seeds must be cold stratified for 90 days if not started in the fall for a spring germination. Cold stratification will break the seeds’ rest period so they are ready for planting. After the cold stratification, plant the seeds in a flat or tray of Sphagnum Peat Moss. Make sure the tray is at 3 inches deep for root development. Sprinkle the seed onto the top of the peat moss, and barely cover seeds with a very light ( 1/8-1/4 inch ) sprinkle of peat moss. The tray should be placed in an area that is warm, with bright light and the peat moss must be kept moist. If fungus develops on the surface of the moss, spray with any type of garden fungicide to control it. Blueberry seeds are slow germinators, the first seeds will probably start to germinate in about a month, and finish germinating over the next 2-3 months. Leave the new seedlings in the peat moss until they are about 3 inches tall, then transplant into individual pots, being very careful not to damage the tiny root systems. Feed young plants with a weak solution of Miracle Gro Acid Plant Food or something similar, feed monthly and raise them in small pots until they are about 8 inches tall, then transplant into one gallon pots. Transplant 1-2 year old seedlings outside in the fall. Blueberries require adequate water, especially the first year that they are planted, to properly establish a good root system. During the growing season, blueberry plants typically require 1″ of water per week Plants will start producing berries when about 2 years old. In order for blueberry plants to produce berries the soil pH needs to be between 4.5 – 5.2. Soils not within the range of pH acceptability for blueberry plant growth must be prepared before planting. If the pH is too high, the growth of the plant is slowed and the foliage turns yellow. If the pH is too high for an extended period of time, the plants will die. When several plants are to be grown together, more satisfactory results will be obtained if an entire bed is prepared rather than digging holes for individual plants. With the lowest soil pH requirement of all berries, blueberries grow in the same acidic conditions that please other native shrubs such as rhododendron and azaleas. • FREE SHIPPING on all orders of $35 or more.• Flat Rate shipping no matter how many seeds you order.• Growing instructions included on each seed packet.

Southern Highbush Blueberry Seeds (Vaccinium corymbosum)Highbush Blueberries are the Most Widely Cultivated Blueberry in the US, and are a Very Popular Home Garden Fruit for Both Fresh and Frozen Use. They Grow Well in Zones 5-10, all Throughout the Southern Half of New Jersey, and Satisfactorily on Warmer Sites in Northern New Jersey where the Planting is Protected from Prevailing Winds and Winter Temperatures that Rarely Fall Below -25 Degrees F. Blueberries are Among the Most Nutrient-Dense Berries, & Have a Higher Concentration of Antioxidants than Any Other Fruit or Vegetables. They’re Also Loaded with Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Manganese, & Potassium.Best Grown in a Well-Draining Sandy Loam, that is Rich in Organic Matter. Clay Soils Can be Made Suitable for Blueberries by Adding Organic Matter (such as Peat Moss) and Sand. In Very Poorly Drainimg Soils, Blueberries may be Planted in Ridges 4 Inches Above the Surrounding Soil Level to Help Ensure Proper Drainage. Full Sunlight All Day Long is Essential for Maximum Fruit Production. Blueberries Require an Acidic Soil with a PH Range of 4.5 to 5.0. Abandoned Pastures, Fields, and Woodland Soils Generally Have a PH Suitable for Blueberry Growth, Although Only a Soil Test will Determine the Actual PH Level to Ensure Optimal Growth. Highland Blueberries will Grow Up to 7-8′ Foot Tall, with a Spread of Appx. 4-6′ Foot Wide. Plant Appx. 5′ Foot Apart. Highbush Blueberry Germination:1) Soak seeds in water for 24 hours.2) Place seeds in a moist paper towel placed inside a zip lock bag & keep in the fridge for 90 days to cold stratify them.

Turn off the heated mat at night to create alternating temperatures. This mimics their natural conditions, and will greatly improve germination rates.6) Use a grow light as Blueberry seeds need light in order to germinate. Or place in a window that gets filtered light, but never full sun while germinating.7) Patience is needed as germination of Highbush Blueberry seeds is erratic. Some will germinate withing 6-8 weeks, but don’t toss any out that don’t sprout quickly as some can take up to 12 weeks.

Highbush Blueberry, Vaccinium corymbosum, Seeds (Edible, Fall Color, Hardy)
Highbush Blueberry, Vaccinium corymbosum, Seeds Oranamental Flowers, Fall Color, Edible Fruits, Attracts Birds and Butterflies, Wildlife Food/Shelter, Cold Tolerant, Hedge/Shrub Border Highbush Blueberry is native to the eastern North America where it grows in moist woods, bogs, swamps and low areas. This species is the parent of the many cultivated Highbush varieties that are grown for both commercial and home fruit production. It is an upright, deciduous shrub that typically grows 5 to 8 feet (less frequently to 12 feet) tall. Masses of dainty, waxy, bell-shaped, white or pinkish flowers appear in May with the new leaves. Flowers are followed by blue-black blueberries to 1/2 inch which ripen in summer. Ovate, dark green or blue-green leaves, to 3.5 inches long, turn attractive shades of yellow, Orange, red and purple in fall. Reddish stems can be attractive in winter. Highbush Blueberry is a versatile shrub that has excellent ornamental value separate and apart from the fruit crop: white spring flowers, dark green summer foliage, red fall color and reddish winter stems. Other Names: Highbush Blueberry Zone: 3 to 8 Plant Type: Deciduous fruiting shrub Family: Ericaceae Native Range: Eastern United States Height: 6 to 12 feet Spread: 8 to 12 feet Shape: Upright, Rounded to irregular Bloom Time: May Bloom Color: White or pinkish Flower/Fruit: 0.33″ long urn-shaped white to very light pink flowers. Blooms are typically numerous and somewhat showy. Sun: Full Sun to Part Shade Fall Color: Mix of red, orange, purple, and yellow Drought Tolerance: Low Water: Medium Maintenance: Medium Site Requirements/ Soil Tolerances: Best grown in acidic (pH of 4.8 to 5.2), organically rich, medium to wet, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Shallow, fibrous roots need constant moisture and good drainage. Culture: Plants appreciate a good organic mulch. Although blueberries are self-fertile, cross-pollination produces the best fruit crop (larger berries and larger yields). Best to remove flowers from plants in the year of planting and in the following year so as to prevent fruit set and to encourage new vegetative growth. Prune as needed in late winter beginning in the third year after planting. Birds love the fruit, so plants may need to be covered with netting as the fruit begins to ripen in order to protect the crop. Uses: Effective in shrub borders or as part of less formal shrub plantings such as in native plant gardens or open woodland areas. Particularly effective in conjunction with rhododendrons and azaleas which share similar acidic soil requirements. Also makes an excellent hedge with the added benefits of summer fruit which can be harvested or left for the birds Sowing Vaccinium corymbosum Seeds: The seeds of Blueberries are very small.
