Notes
'Chandler' blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum 'Chandler') is a shrub for food gardens, containers, hedges, and borders. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to wet, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is grown for its edible berries. White flowers open in spring, and bees, butterflies, and birds visit the plant. Plant it in acidic soil, since it requires it.
Pairs well with Virginia sweetspire, Serviceberry, and Wild bergamot.
