The Jelly Bean® Blueberry is a dwarf blueberry plant that produces a large yield of tasty, plump fruit. The Vaccinium x Jelly Bean® has a dense and compact growth habit. White flowers bloom in late spring and give way to delicious berries during July and early August. The berries can be eaten fresh or used to make jams, jellies, or pies. During the fall, this bush adds extra color to an area when a red margin appears around the edges of the green leaves.
Jelly Bean® Blueberry Care
Plant in the spring in full sun. This bush produces fruit on new canes that emerge in the spring. Once the last of the crop is picked, prune the plant to remove canes that produced berries to encourage new canes and more berries in the next growing season.
Growing Jelly Bean® Blueberry
This easy-care blueberry bush will produce a crop in the first year. Mature plants will reach 1 to 2 feet tall and wide, making this compact bush an excellent container plant.
Growing Jelly Bean® Blueberry in Containers
This compact and upright bush thrives as a container planting. Grow the Jelly Bean® Blueberry in a 12-inch container and water when the top layer of the soil is dry.
Watering Jelly Bean® Blueberry
Water weekly or when the top couple of inches of soil dries out. Plants grown in containers will need more frequent watering.
Feeding Jelly Bean® Blueberry
Feeding the bush will keep it healthy and productive. Apply a balanced organic plant food each spring to support new growth.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
