When is the best time to plant a blueberry in a pot?

Our Advice:

The best time is early spring just before the growth starts. These plants prefer a deep container 45 cm (18 in) and free-draining compost. Use peat-based ericaceous compost mixed equally with shredded bark to improve the structure and provide good drainage.
