Brunswick Wild Blueberry

Meet your new favorite edible groundcover: ‘Brunswick’ Wild Blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium). Discovered flourishing in Nova Scotia, this native, low-growing shrub brings both charm and utility to any garden bed, border, or naturalized meadow edge.

Dont let its height fool you – this little plant has big ambitions. Reaching only 12-15″tall, Brunswick spreads wide (up to 48″!) to form a dense mat of greenery that transforms into a blaze of scarlet and orange come fall. Talk about a seasonal showstopper!

Come summer, youll be greeted by firm, medium-sized dark blue berries, ripe with old-fashioned sweetness and perfect for baking, preserving, or munching straight off the stem. Plus, its a pollinator favorite – bees and butterflies cant resist the blooms, and birds will sing for the fruit.

Hardy down to Zone 2, Brunswick is a go-to for cold-climate gardeners seeking beauty, biodiversity, and a backyard snack bar. Its also incredibly low-maintenance – just give it acidic soil, a bit of sun, and watch it thrive with minimal fuss.

Whether youre weaving it into a wild edible landscape, planting a pollinator patch, or edging a woodland trail, Brunswick Wild Blueberry brings flavor, flair, and foliage to the party.
