Plant Sentry™

Plant Sentry is designed to protect both consumers and the nursery trade from invasive plant pests and diseases. Sites that display the Plant Sentry protection badge are protected from consumers buying and nurseries shipping material carrying invasive pests and diseases.

This proprietary eCommerce software prevents the shipment of a restricted plant to each state. The Plant Sentry system includes a shipment certification program. The Plant Sentry Compliance Officer works closely with NatureHills.com and each nursery or fulfillment center to ensure only compliant plants are sold to customers.

Delivery and Shipping

Shipping

To obtain a more accurate shipment time-frame, simply enter your zip code in the “Find Your Growing Zone” box to the right. Our plants are grown all over the country and lead time on items may be different because of this. Once your order is placed, you will also receive the specific shipment time-frame information as part of your order confirmation. Once an item ships, you will receive shipment notification and tracking numbers, so you can follow along while your plant travels to your doorstep. We use FedEx, UPS, or USPS at our discretion.

 

Due to winter weather we have put a hold on shipping to the areas shown below in grey. You can still order now and we will ship the plant to you during an appropriate time for your zone.

*If you have found your zone already, it will be highlighted in the table below.

Big is definitely better when it comes to the Brightwell Blueberry Bush (Vaccinium ashei 'Brightwell'). This is a classic Rabbiteye native to the southeast and southern states. Today, the Rabbiteye blues are the most sought-after varieties for the low chill regions throughout the United States.

Widely grown commercially, and perfect for the home garden, Brightwell gives you loads of large blueberries that are packed full of juicy goodness. Your friends and family will be thrilled to know that there are far more berries than you can use. Brightwell has reports of up to 10 pounds plus of fruit from one plant! The birds too will try to beat you to the bounty, so invest in some good netting if you don't want to share.

Brightwell is also unaffected by late winter or early spring freezes better than most other varieties. Pollinators galore arrive for the lovely pink blushed white bell-shaped blossoms each spring. Brightwell is considered partially self pollinating, but you can drastically increase fruit production by planting with a different Rabbiteye type nearby.

Planting and Application:

Growing a whopping size, Brightwell has more real estate to provide more berries! Plus they'll provide great screening when planted in hedgerows and groupings, providing you with privacy and your wildlife with shelter and food.

These are gorgeous flowering ornamental shrubs and edible landscaping plants that you will be hard-pressed to find to accent your garden borders and anchor structure corners. Great for boosting both curb appeal and food sustainability at home!

  • Big Juicy Blue Berries
  • Disease & Pest Resistant
  • Rabbiteye - Early Mid-Season
  • Big Harvests!
  • Partially Self-Fertile - Larger Crops With Other Rabbiteye

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Give Brightwell a sunny spot with good drainage. It's not as fussy as other blueberries and has few pest and disease problems. A bit more tolerant of less acidic soils, Brightwell Blueberry requires a pH of 6.0 or less to thrive. Easy-care Brightwell is also unaffected by late winter or early spring freezes.

  • Full Sun
  • Slightly Acidic Fertile Soil
  • Adequate Moisture & Mulch
  • Prune When Dormant
  • Low Chill 350-400
  • Heat & Drought Tolerant

Aren't you already dreaming of all the pies, tarts and fresh blueberry muffins and blueberry pancakes you can make from berries you pick in your own backyard? Make those dreams a reality. Order your Brightwell Blueberry Bush today from NatureHills.com and get your garden delivered!
