Why Plant Perpetua Blueberry?
Distinguished by its ability to flower on new growth, its attractive combination of dark green and glossy leaves, along with flowers and edible fruit in late summer and fall; and its vigorous, vase-shaped, compact plant habit. You will get one crop of fruit mid-summer and also ripe fruit in fall. Leaves turn to deep reds and greens in the winter. The new canes are bright yellow and red in winter. Berries are smallish in size and are mild and sweet.
How to use Perpetua Blueberry in the landscape?
Two crops and a color show?! Perpetua will be keeping you on your toes with its productivity and surprises. Perpetua will produce its first berries in mid-summer as a double cropper, the second in fall. This gives you more berries to enjoy in the hot of the year. Once the berries are gone, and the dark green leaves lose their luster, the leaves transform their color to deep reds and greens in the winter, giving you some color interest in the dark of winter.

How To Plant Perpetua Blueberry
Acid soil is key to growing Blueberries successfully. These peat-loving Accents require very low–pH conditions to thrive. If your soil isn’t naturally acidic, you may want to grow Perpetua Blueberry in a large container or raised bed. Give it all-day sun if possible and use lots of organic matter—both as a soil amendment and mulch. Water weekly if no rainfalls. Even though Perpetua is self-pollinating, you may want to plant other blueberry varieties to increase your yearly berry yield.

Shipping Delays:
From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
