Highbush cornflower 'Elliott'
FamilyEricaceae
Vaccinium corymbosum ‘Elliott’ is a late-season blueberry bush renowned for its productivity and the quality of its late-season fruit. This deciduous shrub develops an upright habit, slightly taller than wide, forming a structured clump ideal for fruit hedges and row plantings. In spring, bell-shaped, pinkish-white flowers attract pollinators and precede a late harvest, often among the last of the season. The medium-sized blueberries are firm, sweet, and slightly tart, excellent for preservation and processing. Its medium green foliage turns beautiful orange-red hues in autumn, adding significant ornamental interest. Vaccinium corymbosum ‘Elliott’ requires acidic, organic-rich, and well-drained soil, as well as a sunny exposure to ensure optimal production.
