A blueberry plant that’s small, but mighty, the Polaris Blueberry brings the best of attributes together. This fruiting shrub begins with white flowers in May, and ends with red foliage in the Fall. Perhaps the best part, sweet medium sized blueberries are ready for harvest in late July and early August. This beautifully producing, compact blueberry bush is a great choice for a productive, and versatile and upright option in any landscape.  

The Polaris Blueberry is hardy in zones 3 to 7. It can be planted any time of the year, but when first planted moisture is the most important. Therefore, it’d be best to plant in the Spring or Fall, outside of hot summer stretches. This blueberry bush is a low maintenance option, requiring average amounts of water in moist, well drained soil. It’s beneficial to prune in late winter, as to allow the plant to breathe with proper air flow. 

Polaris Blueberry Bush Care

It won’t take long for the Polaris Blueberry to start producing fruit. If planted in the Spring, the shrub should produce blueberries during its first season in late July and early August. 

Growing Polaris Blueberry Bushes in Containers

This blueberry bush can be grown in containers. The tight and compact nature of this particular blueberry lends it proper characteristics to thrive in a container. Make sure to buy a container big enough to give this blueberry room to grow.

Watering Polaris Blueberry Bushes

If planted within a container, this blueberry will need to be watered more often than if planted directly within a landscape. Otherwise, an average amount of water is necessary to ensure that soil is moist and well drained. 

Feeding Polaris Blueberry Bushes

An organic fertilizer can be applied yearly. This can be beneficial to ensure that it’s blooming, and fruiting to its full potential.

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.

Guarantee and Warranty

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.
