Powder Blue Rabbiteye Blueberry
Vaccinium ashei 'Powder Blue'
A top choice for late-season harvests, Powder Blue Rabbiteye Blueberry produces abundant clusters of medium-sized, light blue berries with a sweet, mild flavor. Known for its consistent yields and excellent fruit quality, this variety helps extend the blueberry season well into summer. Its upright growth and attractive foliage also provide ornamental value in the landscape.
Adapted to southern climates, Powder Blue performs best in full sun and acidic soil.
Rabbiteye blueberries require cross-pollination to set fruit, so planting multiple varieties nearby will ensure the best production.

Welcome to The Plant Firm
The Plant Firm was created during the lockdown of 2020 as a fun project to give me something to do. It quickly became a much larger endeavor and one that I knew needed more attention to be done right. I was tired of paying an arm and a leg for plants at the big box store and saw an opportunity to save people time and money while also delivering straight to their door. So, here we are in 2023. Officially up and running with an amazing team, more plants, and a desire to provide you with better plants at better prices!
