Bountiful Blue Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum 'FLX-2')

Bountiful Blue Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum 'FLX-2'), also known simply as Bountiful Blue, is a compact, self-pollinating southern highbush blueberry prized for its heavy fruit production, intensely blue foliage, and ornamental beauty. As part of the Bushel and Berry� collection, it�s ideal for small gardens, edible landscapes, and decorative containers.

Distinctive Features

This dwarf cultivar grows 3 to 4 feet tall and wide with a rounded, bushy habit. In spring, it produces delicate white to pale pink bell-shaped flowers that attract pollinators. These are followed by an abundance of large, sweet, firm blueberries in mid to late summer.
