Product Details
🫐 Blueberry ‘Biloxi’
Scientific name: Vaccinium ‘Biloxi’
Type: Southern Highbush blueberry
Biloxi is a vigorous, upright, low-chill blueberry that is particularly suitable for warmer climates such as Perth. It produces attractive light-blue, medium to large, firm berries with a sweet, mild flavour.
🌿 Main features
- Low-chill variety – well suited to warmer climates
- Upright, vigorous growth
- Medium–large, firm, pale-blue berries
- Sweet, mild flavour
- White bell-shaped flowers in spring
- Attractive autumn foliage
- Suitable for garden beds or large containers
- Self-fertile, but planting another compatible variety such as ‘Misty’ can improve fruit set and overall production.
📏 Size
Approximately 1.5–2 m high × 1–2 m wide, depending on growing conditions and pruning.
☀️ Growing in Perth
For Perth, give Biloxi:
- Full morning sun, with protection from intense afternoon summer heat.
- Acidic, well-drained growing media.
- A large pot with quality acidic/blueberry potting mix is often an excellent option in Perth.
- Keep the root zone consistently moist but not waterlogged.
- Mulch around the plant to help maintain moisture because blueberries have relatively shallow roots.
🌱 Planting preparation
For garden planting, prepare a well-drained acidic soil. Incorporate an appropriate acidic organic matter/blueberry soil mix rather than ordinary alkaline garden soil.
For containers, use a premium acidic blueberry/potting mix and choose a large container with excellent drainage.
🍓 Pollination & fruiting
Biloxi is capable of producing fruit on its own, but planting Biloxi with ‘Misty’ can improve pollination and increase the quantity of fruit. Biloxi can also produce a later secondary crop under favourable conditions.
✂️ Care
- Water regularly, especially through Perth’s hot summer.
- Feed with a fertiliser formulated for acid-loving plants/blueberries during the growing season.
- Maintain mulch around the root zone.
- Remove weak, dead or diseased branches.
- Prune selectively to maintain an open, productive framework.
🏡 Landscaping importance
Biloxi is an excellent edible landscaping plant. It combines attractive foliage and flowers with delicious home-grown fruit, making it suitable for edible gardens, patios, courtyards, raised beds and large containers. Its relatively compact habit also makes it useful where space is limited.
