Don't Forget To Add These for Your Plants:

Sweetheart Blueberry is a native deciduous shrub that has two crops of large, sweet light blue berries that ripen in early and late season.  Its elliptical green foliage turns red to burgundy in fall.  The loose pendulous clusters of white spring flowers give way to the signature berries.  Grows best with full sun and rich, moist acidic well-drained soils.  While self-fertile, cross-pollination will produce a better crop.
