Vaccinium 'Tophat' Blueberry

Description
Get ready for tons and tons of berries

Compact enough for small spaces.

Just 2 feet tall and 1 ½ feet wide at full maturity, Vaccinium 'Tophat' Blueberry bears masses of pea-shaped berries in early and midsummer. Unlike many blueberries, the white blooms that precede the fruit are quite ornamental—and, at ½-inch across, comparatively huge on the tiny plant.

The berries are sky-blue and delectable, and the light green foliage remains fresh over a very long season. Vaccinium 'Tophat' Blueberry is the perfect container plant for the sunny patio, it is also a distinctive choice for the front of the border or even as bonsai.

Supremely heat-tolerant, Vaccinium 'Tophat' Blueberry is a cross of a Highbush (Vaccinium corymbosum) and a Lowbush (V. angustifolium). This is the blueberry to plant where others have melted out in the heat—yet it is hardy all the way through Zone 3. Delightful in big pots on the patio, Vaccinium 'Tophat' Blueberry is a miniature garden joy.

Plant in full sun to light shade in acidic, well-drained soil. Vaccinium 'Tophat' Blueberry is self-fertile, but bigger crops arise if more than one is planted in the same area.

Vaccinium "Tophat" Bluberry plant
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I purchased this blueberry plant because I have horrible soil and this can be container grow. It arrived. Packed so well I was actually shocked. I followed directions for planting and now it is a wait and see game. Im so excited cant wait for it to start growing. I planted it in a nice size pot so the roots will have plenty of expanding space. Thank you Jackson & Perkins.
