Notes
'Blue Moon' blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum 'Blue Moon') is a shrub for hedges, privacy screens, food gardens, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to wet, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. White flowers with a light pink tinge open in early to late spring and attract butterflies, bees, and birds. The leaves also turn color in fall.
Pairs well with Black chokeberry, Serviceberry, Switchgrass, and Ostrich fern.
