Something to grow in the pot with my blueberry

5 replies

I recently transplanted my blueberry into a really big pot, obviously it has ericaceous compost in it. It’s already being colonised by weed seedlings, I was wondering what I could grow around the edges of the pot, reasonably low growing but long flowering, which won’t mind the acid soil? Had a look at phlox but short flowering times? Thanks

I found online that begonias are good for acid soil. Not heard of it before, but you can trial it this year if you want. They flower for a long period. Remember to water with rainwater though.

Bacopa could look nice.

I bought a six pack last year and they have overwintered and are flowering again now - southeast but have had quite a few hard frosts this year.

You get them in many garden centres.

My small white flowered Crainsbill geranium has self colonised my Blueberry pots. Maybe a small Crainsbill woul look nice and be very low maintenance.
