Description
Patriot Blueberry is a high-yielding shrub prized for its large, sweet dark blue berries in early summer. In addition to its delicious fruit, it boasts dainty white, bell-shaped flowers in spring and vibrant scarlet foliage in fall, making it a stunning year-round addition to any landscape. Its smooth, brick-red bark adds winter interest.
This fast-growing, upright shrub thrives in full sun to part shade and requires highly acidic, well-draining soil—best planted with peat moss for optimal growth. A second blueberry variety is needed for pollination. Hardy in Zones 3-7, the Patriot Blueberry is perfect for fresh eating, baking, and preserves.
Each plant comes in a #2 (2 gallon) growers container. The image shown represents an example of what you may receive. Please note that the height, shape, and fullness of each plant may vary due to natural growth patterns. Rest assured, we will select the healthiest and most vibrant plant for you.
