Vaccinium corymbosum 'Jelly Bean'
Blueberry 'Jelly Bean'
'Jelly Bean' is a variety of blueberry plant that produces large and flavorful blueberries, which taste like sweet blueberry jelly. The foliage of this blueberry plant has a unique elongated appearance, with long green leaves and red highlights in cooler seasons and climates. Provide nutrient-rich, acidic, and well drained soil for these blueberries to grow in. They should be sheltered from harsh afternoon sun in the hot summer months. 'Jelly Bean' must be watered deeply and regularly in its first growing season in order to establish its root system; and should be pruned yearly to get rid of the dead and non-fruiting wood, which promotes dense growth and berry production. This plant can be grown deciduously in USDA Hardiness Zones 4 to 8.
