Southern Living Plant Collection Blueberry, Down Home Harvest For Heaven’s Sake Shrub (2 gallon)

The For Heaven’s Sake Rabbiteye Blueberry is an exciting new addition to the Southern Living Plant Collection’s blueberry lineup! This variety is a replacement for the Tifblue Rabbiteye Blueberry because it has very similar fruiting specifications but it has more compact growth. It produces large bounties of delicious late-season light-blue blueberries that range from medium to large. These berries are notably firm with fantastic flavor. Expect it to be covered in small bell-shaped white flowers in late spring.

This shrub has a controlled upright growth habit that matures to 4-5′ H x 3-4′ W. Its leaves are blueish-green with purple-red hues in fall.

This variety is characterized by early ripening, late flowering, and a moderate chilling requirement (600-650 hours); which helps ward off damage from late frosts and results in high yields of quality fruit.
