How to Grow
Blueberry ‘Blue Suede’ is a good variety to pick for colder gardens as it’s later to flower and so avoids late frosts. Ready to harvest from mid to late August, the large, tasty fruits mature over a long period allowing several pickings.
Blueberries are packed with health-boosting compounds and are especially delicious in pies, muffins and jams. These sturdy shrubs make attractive features for the patio or acidic borders, bearing masses of sweetly scented creamy white flowers in spring, and fiery crimson autumn foliage.
Self-fertile, like all Blueberries it will produce its best crops if grown with another Blueberry to increase pollination.
Height and spread: 120cm-150cm (4 to 5ft).
Estimated time to best yields: 28-32 months (16-20 months for 3l potted plant).

Blueberries require a well drained, acid soil in a sunny or semi shaded position. In areas where acid soil does not naturally occur, grow blueberry plants in patio containers using a mix of ericaceous compost and John Innes No. 3.
More Info If possible, blueberries should be watered with rainwater because the lime contained in tap water will reduce the acidity 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.
