Blueberry 'Brigitta' is a cherished late-season variety that promises a bountiful harvest of plump, dark-coloured fruits from August through September. This hardy shrub is ideal for growing in patio pots or containers, where its compact yet productive nature shines. Adorned with luscious green foliage that turns a rustic orange in the fall, 'Brigitta' not only offers delectable berries but also adds ornamental beauty to any garden space. Come springtime, delicate pearly white blooms emerge, further enhancing its visual appeal. Perfectly suited for both novice and experienced gardeners, this blueberry variety thrives in well-drained, acidic soil and prefers a sunny to semi-shaded location. If your soil lacks acidity, 'Brigitta' can flourish in patio containers filled with ericaceous compost and John Innes No. 3 mix. With proper care, including regular watering and feeding, this reliable blueberry bush will reward you with a continuous supply of flavourful berries and stunning seasonal transformations. How to Grow Instructions Light: Plant in a sunny to semi-shaded spot. Temperature: Hardy but protect from frost and cold winds. Watering: Keep soil consistently moist, especially during fruit development. Feeding: Use ericaceous compost and feed with a balanced fertilizer. Humidity: Ensure well-drained soil to prevent waterlogging. Images shown are for guidance only and show the expected results of plants upon maturity. Different growing conditions might vary results.
