Notes
'Northblue' blueberry (Vaccinium 'Northblue') is a shrub for hedges and food gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to wet soil. White flowers with a pink blush open from early to late spring. The leaves turn a new color in fall, so it adds interest late in the year. It grows 24 to 36 inches tall and wide.
Pairs well with Honeyberry, Sensitive fern, and Rhubarb.
