Bilberry Seeds (Vaccinium myrtillus) – Whortleberry, Blaeberry, European Blueberry, Huckleberry
General Description
Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus), also known as Whortleberry, Blaeberry, European Blueberry, or Huckleberry, is a low-growing deciduous shrub native to Europe and parts of Asia. This berry is highly prized for its dark blue fruits, intense flavor, and high antioxidant content. The small berries are sweeter and more aromatic than common blueberries, making them popular for fresh eating, jams, and desserts.
Plant Characteristics
Bilberry grows as a low, spreading shrub, typically reaching 30–50 cm in height. Its small, oval leaves are bright green in spring and summer, turning reddish in autumn. The berries are smaller than cultivated blueberries, with dark blue skin and richly pigmented flesh, known for their sweet-tart taste and intense color.
Cultivation Recommendations
Soil: Prefers acidic, well-drained soil with high organic content.
Light: Grows best in partial shade to full sun.
Watering: Requires consistent moisture, especially during fruit development.
Temperature: Cold-hardy and thrives in temperate climates.
Germination: Stratify seeds by cold stratification for 4–6 weeks. Sow in moist, acidic soil at 65–75°F (18–24°C). Germination may take 2–3 weeks.
Uses and Benefits
