The self-fruitful Northern Highbush Legacy Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum 'Legacy') is a vigorous and productive grower and produces medium to large-sized, medium-blue, firm fruit with a very superior flavor and sweetness! These plants are high-yielding and very consistent year after year!
The white spring blossoms are a bumblebee's favorite as they do their best to squeeze into the dainty bell-shaped blossoms. These quickly become big fat blue fruit that tastes amazing and is a healthy superfruit as well! Nestled among the lush green leaves that take on beautiful orange fall color, these are prized ornamentals for edible landscaping that feeds you and your wildlife too!
This is an attractive landscape plant and a heavy producer of delicious fruit. The fruit ripens in August, and when planted with other varieties, extends your harvest and boosts pollination. Be sure to plant with another Northern Highbush for the biggest crops. 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:
Plant multiple Legacy or other Highbush blueberries in groups or rows and let these double-duty shrubs fill your garden with ornamental flowering beauty and superfruit that you'll need to fight the local songbirds for! Use as backdrops to vegetable gardens or lovely foundation plantings, while filling your fruit bowl at the same time! For larger crops per shrub, plant multiples of Legacy Blueberry or combine it with other Northern Highbush Blueberry bushes.
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!

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Easy to grow Blueberry bushes in acidic soils For best fruiting, prune the oldest lower branches in late winter. With this care, these plants are high-yielding and very consistent year after year. Provide lots of moisture and fertility, plus a healthy 3-4 inch thick layer of mulch for best results. Prune when dormant to control shape and size, and keep the interior open to sun and air penetration.
