Burgundy Wild Lowbush Blueberry

Burgundy is a low-growing, blueberry shrub or ground cover that produces small, tart, light blueberries in the summer. The plant has burgundy new growth that turns gray-green in the summer and deep burgundy in the fall, with copper overtones. In mid-spring, it produces clusters of white, bell-shaped flowers that hang below its branches. Developed in Maine. The berries are edible and can be eaten fresh, frozen, or cooked. They're also popular with birds and other wildlife, and butterflies are attracted to the flowers. Lowbush blueberries are considered self-pollinating, but planting different varieties of the same species together can increase fruit set.
