Bushel and Berry® Jelly Bean® Blueberry Plant

Bushel and Berry® Jelly Bean® is the blueberry that earns a permanent spot on the patio. Its compact, half-high form, stunning four-season foliage, and bumper crops of sweet, firm blueberries make it as ornamental as it is productive. Whether you’re tucking it into a landscape border or growing it in a container on the deck, Jelly Bean® delivers exceptional beauty and real fruit — and it starts bearing in just a year or two.

Four Seasons of Color, One Plant

Jelly Bean® puts on a visual show from spring through winter. Light green foliage with attractive red-tipped new growth through the growing season transitions to a brilliant display of yellow and red fall color — rivaling ornamental shrubs that produce no fruit at all. In late July through early August, the bush fills with medium-to-large, sweet, juicy blueberries that make the whole season worthwhile.

Made for Containers and Small Spaces

At just 12–24 inches tall and wide at maturity, Jelly Bean® is one of the most container-friendly blueberry varieties available. It thrives in pots, planters, and patio gardens, making it an excellent choice for growers without the space for a traditional blueberry patch. Its compact size also makes it easy to manage soil pH — critical for blueberry success — right in the container.
