Proven Winners Direct Splendid! Blue Highbush Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) - New Proven Winners Variety 2025

With Splendid! Blue blueberry, you get a handsome landscape plant with a rounded habit and dusty light blue foliage. That view is joined by an impressive show of tiny white, bell-shaped blooms in the spring. Later on, those flowers turn to extremely tasty fruit, even if there isn’t a compatible pollinator plant nearby. But note that you will definitely get a heavier fruit set if you plant another highbush blueberry nearby.
