Narrative
Vaccinium angustifolium, a lowbush selection made by HPC from the state of Maine. Height of plants will be 4 to 6 inches at maturity and spread outward to create the Red Carpet. Fruits are small up to 1500 per pound and are a light blue color to deep blue when harvested. They have sweet flavors with no acid which is typical of the wild blueberry flavor. Autumn foliage color is outstanding deep red fluorescent. Profuse white flowers cover the plant each spring and deep green leaf color is disease resistant all summer. Ruby Carpet is selected for the form, color and resistance to dryer soil types. HARDINESS ZONE ? SOUTH: 7b, NORTH: 3a - Hartmann's Plant Company Catalog
