Patriot Blueberry

The Patriot Blueberry is the ideal choice if you want a dual-purpose shrub in your beds, that is both attractive and edible. It grows to just 4 or 5 feet tall, with good foliage and excellent fall colors of orange and red. The spring flower display is great too, but let’s not forget the heavy crop of very large blueberries, ripening in June, making this one of the earliest varieties you can grow. In the garden or in pots, it is sure to please both the eye and the mouth.

Grow your Patriot Blueberry bushes in full sun, and it is hardy even in zone 3. It should have moist, well-drained soil, which is acidic, with a pH value below 5.0. If you don’t have suitable soil it is perfect for growing in pots and planters, using lime-free potting soil mixtures. Resistant to root-rot diseases, it rarely has any pests, and needs no pruning. Just water regularly and pick those berries.
