Notes
Rabbiteye blueberry (Vaccinium ashei) is a fruit for borders, food gardens, and hedges. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy or loamy soil. It grows best in acid soil. Butterflies and birds visit it, and it can handle some drought. Plants reach about 8 to 15 feet tall, so give them room.
Pairs well with Azalea, Pink-shell azalea, and Pink Lady apple.
