The white spring blossoms are a bumblebee's favorite as they do their best to squeeze into the dainty bell-shaped blossoms.

You'll enjoy an extended of extremely nutritious, high-quality Blueberries for fresh eating, baked goods, in preserves or jams, frozen or dehydrated for winter use!
Planting and Application:

The brilliant fall foliage is bright orange and stays on the bush well into the winter. Try this in your landscape as a hard-working, useful, edible screen or hedge. Create delectable privacy with great fruit at your fingertips plus shade for your garden beds and borders. Legacy is small enough to tuck into large planters and containers for gardening anywhere sunny!
