Overview

Closely related to the blueberries, this compact and hardy shrub is as decorative as it is productive. Its rich green foliage has a soft lustre, and in summer, small white bell-shaped flowers appear along the stems. Bright red berries soon start to develop as the flowers fade and these remain attractive for several months, ripening slowly before being ready to harvest. A decorative as well as productive plant, it is ideal for kitchen gardens, mixed borders or patios.

Care guide

Prepare the ground well before planting. Prune in winter, cutting out dead or damaged branches. In spring, feed with sulphate of ammonia, sulphate of potash and bonemeal and top-dress with ericaceous compost.

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Larger pots (2L and above) are wrapped in waxed paper and then attached to a cardboard base so they stay stable in the box. The waxed paper prevents the compost from spilling out and gives the base some added protection from damp compost. For large numbers of plants, pallets may be used for shipping.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

Plant on Arrival
Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
