Top Hat Blueberry

The Top Hat Blueberry is an amazing dwarf shrub that grows no more than 2 feet tall, but yields a good crop of delicious, top-quality berries in July. Sweet and delicious, the berries are almost a bonus, because this bush is so beautiful it is worth growing simply for the spring flowers and fall colors. Even the smallest garden has space for it, as a single plant or grown as an edging on a bed. Its small size makes it perfect for growing in containers, and means that even if you only garden on a balcony you can grow your own berries.

• Compact bush ideal for small gardens and pots
• Very cold-resistant – ideal for northern gardens
• Attractive spring flowers and vibrant fall colors
• Self-pollinating, so one plant has a big crop
• Should be grown in acidic soil for the best results

In colder zones, grow the Top Hat Blueberry in full sun for the best results. It can be happy with a little afternoon shade in hotter places. The main soil requirement is a pH of 5.5 or preferably less, and the soil should be moist and rich in organic materials. If you don’t have suitable soil, grow it in a planter using an acid-soil mix. This variety is also self-pollinating, so you don’t need other varieties around to grow a big harvest.
