Blueberry

Vaccinium

Plants in the vaccinium family, such as blueberries, have tasty fruit and beautiful flowers that bloom in sunny or partly shaded spots. Some vaccinium plants such as sparkleberry are semi-evergreen, so they keep their leaves for most of the year, making them a good choice for hedges and privacy. They also attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, which helps the garden grow and stay healthy.
