Product Description

Excellent variety for a patio/balcony, easy to maintain dwarf size for container growing. Top Hat Blueberry simply has to be seen to be believed. Here is a beautiful, moundshaped, compact shrub that is ideal for containers and small spaces, loaded with so many flowers in spring it looks like a white-flowering heather, followed by hundreds of delicious full-size blueberry fruits that make it doubly decorative. Top Hat is also becoming a favorite of bonsai enthusiasts, since the plant so easily allows itself to be restricted in a bonsai dish and shaped into a decorative bonsai accent, even flowering and fruiting as a bonsai accent. Developed from a breeding program at Michigan State University by one of the country's leading blueberry specialists, plants are cold hardy and easy to grow. Round, firm, flavorful fruits are a dusky blue just like those you find in the stores - perfect for fresh eating, making jam and baking into muffins or pies. Zones: 5-8; hardy to -25 F. Size at Maturity: 2 ft. by 2 ft. Soil Preference: Acid 4.5 to 5.5 pH. Light Needs: Full sun or partial shade. Blueberries are valued for their ornamental foliage, flowers and berries. Their small bell shaped flowers contrast beautifully with the leathery leaves during the spring and summer and are followed by edible round berries which turn purple when ripe to eat. Cannot ship to Washington state due to USDA regulations.

    The plants arrived quickly. I’ve had them less than a week and there’s a ton of leaves growing already. I can’t wait to plant them!

    My plant arrived quickly and in good shape. Hirt’s had information on their website about soil pH, which was helpful. The only thing I was unsure about was how long to wait to transplant the plant into a bigger pot. I was able to reach someone immediately over the phone and she instructed me to wait three weeks so the plant can properly adjust after shipping and climate change. After only a couple weeks, I’ve noticed the plant is growing and looks strong. Would recommend.
