Grow your own delicious blueberries, even in the smallest of spaces! Blueberry ‘Top Hat’ is neat and compact with a dense bushy habit – not only does it provide a rewarding crop of nutritious berries to pick during the summer months, but it flaunts plenty of ornamental value too. A lovely, low-maintenance plant for growing in a patio container or tucked into a small border, not only is it amazingly productive but it also treats you to a profusion of attractive, pollinator-friendly white flowers in spring and a glow of fiery foliage colour in the autumn.Blueberries require a well drained, acidic soil in a sunny or semi shaded position. In areas where acidic soil does not naturally occur, grow blueberry plants in patio containers using a mix of ericaceous compost and John Innes No. 3.If possible, blueberries should be watered with rainwater because the lime contained in tap water will reduce the acidicity in the soil over time. Blueberries will begin to produce fruit in their third year. As fruits begin to develop, cover the plants with netting to protect the berries from birds. From their third year, begin to prune out the oldest stems each autumn to promote new growth and maintain a healthy plant framework.Position: Full SunHeight: Up to 50cm when fully establishedSpread: Up to 50cm when fully establishedSupplied as 1x Blueberry ‘Top Hat’ plant in a 9cm pot.Delivered with growing and care instructionsImages shown are for guidance only of the expected results from plants upon maturity.
