Vaccinium 'Patriot'

Patriot Blueberry

Vaccinium corymbosum 'Patriot' (Highbush Blueberry)

A versatile, cold-hardy deciduous shrub prized for its giant, flavorful berries and multi-season ornamental beauty.

Showy clusters of white, bell-shaped flowers in spring; produces large, dark blue fruit in early summer.

Upright, open spreading habit with dark green summer leaves that turn fiery orange-red in autumn.

Grows 3–5 ft tall and 3–4 ft wide.

Requires full sun and highly acidic, moist, well-drained soil; benefits from organic mulch.

Attracts pollinators and songbirds, highly productive, and more tolerant of heavier clay soils than other varieties.

Hardy in zones 3–7.

Perfect for edible hedges, kitchen gardens, or mixed borders—provides a "three-in-one" value of spring blooms, summer snacks, and brilliant fall color.
