Name:
Vaccinium darrowii (Darrow’s Blueberry)
Comments:
A densely-leafed evergreen native lowbush blueberry to 3 feet high and wide. Its natural rounded form makes it a neat, orderly looking plant. Its small grayish or blue-green leaves take on a pinkish cast in the fall. Tiny white urn-shaped flowers in spring attract hummingbirds and the summer berries are important wildlife food.
Darrow's blueberry is a tough plant and thrives on neglect. In fact it requires it, and can be killed by overwatering or planting in too rich soil. In needs full sun, dry, sandy, acidic soil and good drainage. Do not overwater!
