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.

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.
