How to Use Bushel and Berry® Peach Sorbet® Blueberry in the Landscape

Take a look around your neighborhood, and you'll likely notice a lot more people growing edible plants. They are redoing their foundation plantings and adding container-grown edible plants throughout their space.

Why not?

Take advantage of your sunshine to grow food for your family and friends. And who knew how beautiful Blueberry bushes can be?

From the flowers, to the outstanding foliage, to bright berries and deep fall color, Peach Sorbet is a lovely Edible Ornamental. Use it throughout your landscape as a low hedge to define your planting beds.

Plant them 18 inches apart on center. You’ll measure from the center of one to the center of the next.

Use this same concept on your balcony. Grow several of these productive plants in containers and line them up side by side along the railing.

You'll feel very sophisticated with these living berry bushes decorating your space in high style. And how nice to boost your food security at the same time!

These compact Blueberry plants are quite tolerant of urban conditions. For a very modern look, use them as a street planting along your front sidewalk. Add edible Viking Black Chokeberry (Aronia) bushes behind them, and use Strawberry plants as a groundcover.

People are getting "real" about the need to augment the grocery store with home-grown fruit. Peach Sorbet makes it so easy!

Try a successive harvest by adding early and late season Blueberries that work in your area. You'll relish fresh berries all season long.

Add a long row of Peach Sorbet as a pretty hedge around your Victory Garden. It looks incredible, and the white, bell-shaped flowers entice beneficial pollinators to veggie plants and fruit trees.

Nature Hills is proud of our extensive catalog of fruiting plants. Design an Edible Landscape to safeguard your family, and to enjoy the unparalleled taste of bush-ripe blueberries.

#ProPlantTips for Care

Give Peach Sorbet Blueberries acidic, well-drained soil with a regular schedule of water. Soil pH should be between 4.5 and 5.5.

Test your soil, or plant them in containers with acid-lovers soil mix. Amend with handfuls of peat moss.

Mulch with pine bark or pine straw to add acidity over time. Test your soil regularly to ensure proper acidity levels.

Pro tip: collect neutral pH rainwater to water your Peach Sorbet. Water regularly, especially when the fruit is developing.

Give them at least four hours of direct sunlight a day. In the warmer zones, they like afternoon shade.

Fertilize with an acid-lover formula in springtime. Please follow the directions on the label.

Enjoy your new plants from Nature Hills. How fun to track your package to your doorstep, then open your sturdy box and "ooh" and "ahh" over your high-quality plant from the nation's best growers.

Very Pleased

They look awesome in my containers around my patio. You have to be quick to pick them before the birds get to them. They are delicious!

Dear Perfect P.,

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience with your Bushel and Berry® Peach Sorbet® Blueberry Bush! We’re thrilled to hear they're thriving in your containers and adding so much joy—and tasty treats—to your patio. You’re definitely not alone in the battle to pick the berries before the birds do! To help keep your blueberries safe, you might consider netting or lightweight garden fabric as a handy bird-deterrent. Additionally, planting some sacrificial bird-friendly plants elsewhere might entice the birds away from your blueberry bush, allowing you more delicious harvests.

If you ever need more tips on container care, fertilizing schedules, or pruning to keep your blueberry bush healthy and fruitful, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
