Vaccinium corymbosum 'Sweetheart' / Highbush Blueberry

‘Sweetheart’ highbush blueberry is an early season blueberry producing a heavy crop of large, sweet fruit in late spring to early summer and is known for its light second crop of fruit in late summer. They are self pollinating, but produce higher yields when planted amongst multiple blueberry plants with similar flowering times. Growing 5-6’ tall and 3-4’ wide, this bushy, upright deciduous shrub thrives in full sun to part shade with average water needs in loamy, well drained acidic soil - in the ground or in a pot. Keep an eye out for small, white bell shaped flowers in early spring and striking red foliage in fall. Grows in zones 4-8. Prune in late winter.
