Vaccinium hybrid Patriot

Patriot Blueberry

Patriot Blueberry produces large, dark blue berries early in the season. White spring flowers and rich green summer foliage make the bush useful in both ornamental and edible plantings.

Orange autumn leaves provide a later display. Its upright, medium-sized habit reflects its lowbush and highbush ancestry, and it tolerates heavier, wetter soils better than many blueberries.

Use sun and acidic soil. Provide 800–1,000 chill hours and a compatible blueberry for improved crops.
