Notes
'Top Hat' blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium 'Top Hat') is a fruit for containers and the food garden. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It grows 24 to 36 inches tall with a creeping habit. Pink and white flowers open in spring, and they draw bees, butterflies, and birds. Give it acid soil for the best growth.
Pairs well with Virginia strawberry, California blackberry, and Lemon balm.
