Growing Tips
To encourage germination, stratify seeds by refrigerating them in a moist substrate for 6 to 8 weeks before sowing them at 1/8 inch deep in acidic, well-drained soil. Grow in a sunny to partially shaded spot and maintain consistent moisture. Lowbush blueberries attract birds and pollinators, adding a wild and productive element to edible or naturalized gardens.
