Notes
'Bluegold' blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum 'Bluegold') is a shrub for hedges, privacy screens, and food 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 open in early to late spring and draw butterflies, bees, and birds. The leaves turn a new color in fall, and the upright shrub grows 60 to 96 inches tall and wide.
Pairs well with Black chokeberry, Karl Foerster feather reed grass, Wild bergamot, and Serviceberry.
