Give them full sun in areas with mild summers. In hot summers, they'll appreciate some afternoon shade. If Rhododendrons grow in the wild where you live, chances are good you have acidic soil. That's a good thing when you are trying to grow Blueberries. Provide rich, acidic, well-drained soil. Shelter from harsh afternoon sun in very hot, arid climates. Water deeply and regularly. Before new growth begins in early spring feed with an acidic fertilizer, and prune away dead or non-fruiting wood to promote growth and berry production. If your soil is alkaline, you can amend your garden soil with some ACID LOVING PLANT & BERRY Soil Mix. Note that when grown in a container, it may not perform exactly as indicated on the tag - this is to be expected. Also note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden. Be aware that in our climate, most plants cannot be expected to survive the winter if left in containers outdoors, and this plant is no exception. NOTE: Some flowers and plants may be harmful or poisonous to people or pets if touched or ingested. If you require more information before placing an order, please let us know in advance. |
