Blueberry 'Patriot' #1

Start blueberry season with ‘Patriot’, a cold-hardy highbush variety known for its large, flavorful blue berries. Delicate white spring flowers give way to an early-season harvest, perfect for fresh snacking, breakfast bowls, and homemade blueberry muffins.

With handsome green foliage and rich fall color, ‘Patriot’ earns its place in the garden long after the last berry is picked. Plant it in a sunny edible border or dedicated berry patch and enjoy watching each season unfold.
