Description
Vaccinium sikkimense This is an alpine, evergreen blueberry with beautiful glossy blue-green foliage and typical white flushed pink flowers followed by clusters of blueberries in mid-summer. A very low-growing (to three feet) and slowly-spreading shrub that should be more widely grown. Long a personal favorite, this is best in sun or light shade with summer irrigation. Occurs with alpine rhododendrons such as forrestii in the high mountains of the Sino-Himalaya. (0) RSBG#2000/5141
