‘Ruby Carpet’ Wild Blueberry is a low-growing native perennial and beautifully textural groundcover. Growing only 6 inches tall, it has deep olive-green foliage that turns ruby red in fall. 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’)

Description

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.
