GoBuyPlants Vaccinium Powderblue ~ Blueberry - 3 Gal Powderblue Rabbiteye Blueberry is a tall vigorous upright deciduous shrub with a high chill requirement but very high production of firm sweet powdery light blue blueberries that ripen late. The large elliptical blue-green foliage turns shades of yellow-orange in fall. The white flower clusters bloom in spring. Grows best with full sun and rich, moist acidic well-drained soils. Powderblue resists cracking after rain. Should be planted with others to cross-pollinate to increase yield. Type: Shrub Origins: Southeast N. America; GA Native Height: 8' - 12' Spread: 6’ - 10' Spacing: 8' USDA Hardiness Zone: 7 - 9 Culture: Full Sun, Part Sun Bloom Color: White Season of Interest: Spring, Summer, Fall MAINTENANCE NEEDS: Medium Maintenance. Water regularly and mulch. Prune as needed in late winter. Chlorosis may occur in high PH soils. Blight, rot, anthracnose, canker, and mildew are occasional problems.
