Notes

'Silver Dollar' blueberry (Vaccinium 'Silver Dollar') is a shrub for the food garden, where it is grown for sweet berries with a pineapple flavor. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun. White flowers open in early to late spring and attract bees. The mounding shrub stays small, so it also suits a container. Its silvery foliage turns emerald green in fall, and you can plant other self-pollinating blueberries nearby to boost yield.

Pairs well with Raspberry, Daffodil, Autumn fern, and Golden Delicious apple.
