Notes
'Perpetua' blueberry (Vaccinium 'Perpetua') is a shrub for the food garden. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun. It sets one crop of smallish, mild, sweet berries in early to mid summer. Then it flowers and fruits again for a second crop in the fall. The dark green leaves turn deep red and yellow in fall.
Pairs well with Honeyberry, Cinnamon fern, and Snowdrop.
