Description
Vaccinium vacciniaceum SEH#15027 Our first offering of this epiphytic and evergreen blueberry from the eastern Himalaya. This species features shiny leaves arranged in tight whorls on the long arching stems. Each leaf is sharply toothed, and the new growth is reddish as seen with most of the evergreen blueberries. In spring, small greenish-yellow to cream flowers appear in three-inch long racemes from the leaf axils. Requires a well-drained soil and makes a great container specimen. Looks like, and should be grown like, an Agapetes differing only in that the flowers are not as showy. Great on a stump or old log. (+5) RSBG $29.00-B
