Blueberry Smoothie Althea Tree Form

Blueberry Smoothie Althea Tree Form is a distinctive ornamental tree prized for its abundant double blossoms and elegant silhouette. Blooming from midsummer into fall, this variety produces clusters of violet-blue flowers with layered petals, adding depth and charm to outdoor spaces. The blossoms are complemented by lush green foliage, creating an eye-catching display during the warmest months of the year. At maturity, it reaches 8 to 10 feet tall with a spread of 6 to 8 feet, developing into a rounded canopy that works beautifully as a centerpiece in flower beds, entryways, or along borders. 

• Deciduous flowering tree form
• Rounded canopy with upright growth habit
• Ruffled double blooms in violet-blue shades
• Grows 8–10 feet tall and 6-8 feet wide

Plant in full sun and well-drained soil. Hardy in USDA zones 5-9, Blueberry Smoothie Althea Tree Form delivers exceptional color and graceful structure to landscapes.

The "Smoothie" series of Althea are double-flowered varieties; because the reproductive parts of the flower are replaced by extra petals (the "double" look), they rarely produce viable seeds which also includes the Peppermint Smoothie, Raspberry Smoothie and Strawberry Smoothie.
