Wild These blueberry shrub wills produce flowers, followed by delicious tiny blue-black berries. They provide habitat for pollinators and wildlife, and maybe pancake ingredients for you! Bred from low-bush blueberries from Maine, ‘Ruby Carpet’ is very productive with tasty berries. (Vaccinium angustifolium ‘Ruby Carpet’)
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
Low-growing 'Ruby Carpet' Wild Blueberry will create a beautiful groundcover. Plus, it provides delicious fruit. Flowering in early summer, hummingbirds and bumble bees help pollinate the flowers. ‘Ruby Carpet’ likes well-drained sand or loam, with acidic soil (pH 4-5). For best results with fruit, it is recommended to test your soil and amend it before planting. This low-growing and versatile shrub is a great investment that will pay off in many ways. ‘Ruby Carpet’ has high vigor and good disease resistance as well.
