Notes
'Blueray' blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum 'Blueray') is a shrub for borders, containers, food gardens, and hedges. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to wet, sandy or loamy soil. It is grown for fresh berries. White flowers open in spring and attract bees, butterflies, and birds. The leaves turn bright colors in fall, and the shrub can reach about 96 inches tall.
