Garden Media Group has released its 2019 Garden Superstars for Spring. This year’s list features edible plants, safe garden food and innovative products.
Grow your own homegrown nutritious blueberries
This spring try two new varieties from the Bushel and Berry collection that are perfect for warmer climates and self-pollinating. Blueberry Buckle, a quick growing blueberry that stays compact with white bell-shaped flowers that appear in spring and produce sweet, dark blueberries. Southern Bluebelle will be an addition to the patio or landscape. This petite blueberry plant produces plump, juicy blueberries in late summer and displays bright red, emerging foliage that turns emerald green as it matures. For more information on these and other berries, visit www.bushelandberry.com.
Summer Bulb of 2019
Get blooms all summer in fiery shades of red, orange and yellow with Crocosmia. Requiring little care, they combine well with ornamental grasses.
