Midnight Cascade Weeping Blueberry

Midnight Cascade Weeping Blueberry

Midnight Cascade Weeping Blueberry is the first ever cascading blueberry! Now your hanging baskets can be filled with blueberries that gracefully weep down the side of a hanging basket for easy picking deliciousness. Midnight Cascade can also be used effectively as a low growing ground cover as it only gets about 18 inches high before taking on its weeping form. Berries are very delicious and aromatic and the foliage takes on a beautiful fiery red in fall.
