Grow Vaccinium × 'Perpetua' (Blueberry 'Perpetua') for edible berries and four-season interest in a compact, upright shrub. You will get the best fruiting in full sun, but it can also grow in part shade, especially where summers are hot. At maturity it typically reaches about 48-60 inches tall, making it a great choice for small gardens, patios, and larger containers.

Plant in consistently moist, well-drained, acidic soil. Blueberries dislike heavy, poorly drained clay and struggle in neutral to alkaline conditions, so amend with acidic organic matter and mulch well to keep roots cool and evenly moist. Water deeply during establishment and during flowering and fruit set, and avoid letting the root zone dry out for long periods.

For best production, consider growing another blueberry variety nearby for cross-pollination, and prune in late winter by removing older canes to encourage fresh, vigorous growth. With good light, moisture, and acidic soil, you can look forward to seasonal flowers followed by flavorful berries you can enjoy fresh or in the kitchen.
