Blueberry Brightwell
Super delicious-super food! Blueberries are easy to grow and fruit as a young plant, great for small gardens, fun for children to grow.
Brightwell is an upright rabbiteye blueberry with a dense rounded habit and long fruiting season. Plant with the later-fruiting Powder Blue or Premier for the best crop.
Rabbiteye blueberries have a greater tolerance to climate variations, and need less hours of cold than highbush blueberries to produce fruits. This makes them a good choice for milder climates. They fruit best planted alongside other blueberry varieties.
We love Brightwell for its long fruit season, good all-round qualities
