a cold-hardy, early-season Northern Highbush variety known for large, sweet berries, vigorous upright growth, and adaptability to heavier, clay soils, unlike many blueberries. It's prized for its ornamental value with spring white/pink blooms, dark green foliage, and fiery red fall color, making it great for landscapes, containers, or fresh eating and cooking, requiring acidic soil (pH 4.0-5.5) for best results.
