Cabernet Splash Blueberry

$19.95

A fantastic new introduction in the “delicious yet ornamental” category, Cabernet Splash blueberry produces a deep wine red foliage in spring that eventually settles to a mottled green in summer and then alights in color again in fall turning fiery red. The berries are large, early ripening and similar tasting to Toro. After seeing the gorgeous red foliage for the first time we wanted more than just a splash! We drank the whole bottle of this spectacular blueberry bush!
