Star Highbush Blueberry
Vaccinium corymbosum 'Star'
A reliable early-season producer, Star Highbush Blueberry is prized for its large, sweet berries and consistent yields. In spring, delicate white, bell-shaped flowers cover the plant, followed by an abundant harvest of flavorful blueberries in early summer. Glossy green foliage provides a lush backdrop through the growing season before turning vibrant shades of red and orange in fall, adding multi-season interest.
Easy to grow and well-suited for southern climates, ‘Star’ thrives in acidic soils and makes a great addition to edible landscapes, garden beds, or large containers.

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. We started The Plant Firm because great plants shouldn't cost a fortune or require a trip across town. Every plant we carry is hand-selected for quality and delivered right to your door. Locally rooted in Raleigh, NC.
