Description
- An exceptional blueberry variety, ‘Brigitta’ produces scrummy fruits whose firm skins make them absolutely perfect for storing in the freezer; great-tasting blueberries the whole year round *and* with reduced waste! What’s not to like?
- Blueberry bushes offer brilliant colour across three seasons. Delightful, bell-shaped white blooms appear in spring, followed by dusky blue fruits ready for picking at the end of summer. In autumn, the lush green foliage undergoes a flame-inspired transformation, taking on fiery red and orange hues
- This is a great planting choice for gardeners wanting to attract pollinators to their garden, as bees are reliably drawn to the bush’s pollen-rich flowers (the blueberry has, in fact, been certified by the RHS as one of its Plants for Pollinators)
- Blueberries are regarded as a superfood, thanks to their high levels of antioxidants (these help the body stave off chronic diseases)
- Need a recipe suggestion? You can’t go wrong with a piping-hot blackberry pie (complete with a lattice pastry covering, of course) served with vanilla ice cream or thick custard!
