1 Live Plant Rebel Blueberry Vaccinium corymbosum Starter Plug Hardy Fruiting Shrub
Rebel blueberry is a compact, cold-hardy blueberry selection prized for its flavorful berries and tidy, ornamental habit. It brings multi-season interest to the garden with white spring blossoms, glossy green summer foliage, and brilliant red-orange fall color, making it as attractive in a landscape border as it is productive in a home fruit patch.
This starter plug establishes readily and is well suited to container culture, raised beds, or acidic garden borders. The firm, sweet-tart berries are excellent fresh, baked into muffins and pies, or frozen for later use. Blueberries crop best with a second compatible variety nearby for cross-pollination, and plants reward consistent moisture and an acidic soil with steady growth and reliable summer harvests.
