Midnight Cascade Blueberry is a dwarf deciduous shrub with unusual cascading branches making it perfect for a hanging basket and an abundant harvest of sweet dark blue blueberries. The small elliptical blue-green foliage turns brilliant red in fall. The white flower clusters bloom in spring and give way to the medium sized berries with hints of vanilla that are produced from mid summer until frost. Grows best with full sun and rich, moist acidic well-drained soils. Type: Shrub Origins: East N.
