Thompson and Morgan Blueberry Vaccinium Osorno Plant Pot 1.5L

Blueberry 'Osorno' is a rewarding addition to any garden, celebrated for its generous yields of delicious, medium-sized, light blue berries. This early to mid-season variety flourishes in both sunny and partially shaded spots, rendering it versatile for garden beds and sizable patio containers alike. Renowned for its hardiness in warmer climates, 'Osorno' exhibits a semi-upright growth pattern with abundant canes that prominently display fruit, simplifying harvesting. While its winter hardiness may not rival some varieties, its performance in milder UK regions establishes it as a superb choice for both home gardeners and commercial growers alike.
Beyond its plentiful harvests, Blueberry 'Osorno' presents aesthetic charm throughout the seasons. In spring, the shrub is adorned with clusters of sweetly scented, creamy white flowers, enticing pollinators to ensure a bountiful crop. As autumn arrives, its foliage transforms into vibrant crimson hues, injecting a lively touch into acidic borders or container gardens filled with ericaceous compost. Whether savoured fresh, incorporated into pies, or preserved in jams and muffins, the berries from 'Osorno' are certain to delight with their robust flavour and firm texture.
How to Grow: Plant in a sunny to semi-shaded location. Suited for warmer areas of the UK and tolerant of hot summers. Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Use ericaceous compost and fertilise with a balanced feed for acid-loving plants. Maintain moderate humidity levels, avoiding water stagnation around roots.
