Summary

An early season crowd-pleaser that's known for encore performances in select areas. 

Vaccinium corymbosum 'Sweetheart'—commonly known as the Sweetheart Blueberry—is best known for its plump, juicy, delicious, blueberries and potential double harvests! The only double-producing blueberry variety in existence, Sweetheart Blueberries are known to produce an early season crop in all areas, but produce a second, lighter yielding, late season crop when grown in warmer areas.

The Sweetheart Blueberry is a unique variety of blueberry that is renowned for its sweet flavor. Its firm texture and mild tartness make it the perfect choice for a range of baking and cooking recipes. Bakers will appreciate Sweetheart Blueberry's large berry size and beautiful dark blue color.

These plants are perfect for creating a show-stopping shrub border or as a focal point in a large pot. Sweetheart Blueberry Bushes are easy to grow and require only minimal care. They produce gorgeous, fragrant, white springtime blooms that attract pollinators. 

Enjoy a bountiful harvest of juicy blueberries year after year, season after season. Dry or freeze your blueberries to enjoy them throughout the off-season! 

Although considered self-pollinating, it's suggested to plant at least two 'Sweetheart' Blueberry Bushes in the same area to promote pollination and increase yields. 

No significant pest or disease problems. 

Care

Blueberry Bush Care

Grow in full sun.

Fertilizations will accelerate growth and keep your plant well fed. We suggest using our slow release fertilizer, or something similar.

Attempt to keep soil moist but not wet. Mulching the base of the plant with untreated mulch will help ensure moist, cool soil. 

Water regularly after planting until established, or in periods of drought. Its ideal soil is moist, rich, acidic, loamy, and well draining. 

Prune in winter, being sure to remove the old, dead growth.
