Otherwise known as Late Lowbush Blueberry, this low-spreading, perennial shrub has glossy, blue-green leaves in the summer that turn purple in the fall. Small, pinkish-white, bell-shaped flowers bloom in May and June followed by the blue, edible fruit. It grows 6 inches to 2 feet tall and wide in full sun to shade, and in dry to moist soil. This plant’s flowers and fruit attract a variety of wildlife including insect pollinators and birds.
