Vaccinium corymbosum 'Misty'
Self fertile low chill (150 hours) Southern Highbush blueberry growing to around 8'+ tall and wide over time. The flowers in spring are pink, adding to its ornamental value. Heavy production of very flavorful medium blue berries ranges from June through September! Even though it does not need a pollinator, the crop is heavier and the berries larger where other varieties are present. We recommend 'Sunshine Blue' as an excellent companion blueberry. Plant in full sun to partial sun. Give good drainage and average water. Do not dry out during fruiting season. Plant using peat moss or other acidic planting medium when setting out into the garden. Fall color turns a brilliant red and burgundy. USDA zones 5-10 in cold hardiness.
