Powderblue Blueberry is a large-growing, deciduous shrub that has light green leaves that turn hues of red & yellow for a great display of color in the Fall. It has delicate, white to pink flowers in late spring and large, light-blue berries mid to late season. Plant several to form a flowering, ornamental, edible hedge. Plant two rabbiteye varieties for heavier fruit production.
