5 Main Types of Blueberry Bushes

Blueberries grow successfully across the country. The main types include:

  • Northern Highbush (Zones 4–7): Popular and productive with large berries
  • Southern Highbush (Zones 7–10): Heat-tolerant hybrids for warmer regions
  • Lowbush (Zones 3–7): Compact, creeping plants perfect for groundcover
  • Half-High (Zones 3–7): Cold-hardy hybrids combining Highbush and Lowbush traits
  • Rabbiteye (Zones 7–9): Tough, pest-tolerant, and highly adaptable

Planting a mix of early, mid, and late-season varieties helps extend your harvest and improve pollination.

Top Pollination and Variety Tips

Blueberries are self-fertile, but planting multiple varieties gives you larger harvests and better fruit set.

  • Highbush: Try 'Bluecrop', 'Blueray', or 'Herbert' for cold hardiness
  • Lowbush: Hardy, spreading groundcovers for northern gardens
  • Half-High: 'Northcountry', 'Northblue', and 'Northland' are ideal for cold climates
  • Rabbiteye: Best in the Southeast; plant 'Tifblue', 'Climax', and 'Brightwell' together for pollination

FAQS for Buying Blueberry Bushes Online

What are the best blueberry varieties to grow in cold climates?

For colder climates (USDA Zones 3–5), look for cold-hardy blueberry varieties like ‘Northblue’, ‘Northcountry’, and ‘Northland’ from the Half-High group, or Lowbush types like ‘Top Hat’. These blueberries are bred for cold tolerance and still provide excellent fruit production, brilliant fall foliage, and easy container adaptability.

How do I make sure my blueberry plant soil is acidic enough?

Blueberries thrive in acidic soil with a pH between 4.5 and 5.5. To ensure optimal conditions, test your soil before planting using a pH meter or kit. Amend alkaline soil with sulfur, peat moss, pine bark, or organic acid fertilizers like cottonseed meal. For container growing, use a mix labeled for acid-loving plants like azaleas or rhododendrons.

Do I need more than one blueberry plant for pollination?

While most blueberry bushes are self-fertile, planting more than one variety will increase your fruit yield and improve berry size. Cross-pollination between early-, mid-, and late-season varieties also extends your overall harvest season, giving you weeks of fresh berries throughout summer.

Can I grow blueberry bushes in containers?

Yes, blueberries are excellent for container growing, especially in regions where soil pH is hard to manage. Choose a weather-resistant pot with good drainage and at least 24 inches wide and deep. Use an acidic soil blend and monitor water and pH regularly. Container-grown plants can be moved for optimal light and overwinter protection.

How much sun do blueberry bushes need to produce fruit?

Blueberry plants need full sun—at least 6 to 8 hours of direct light per day—for the best berry production and flavor. While they can tolerate partial shade, insufficient light will reduce yield and sweetness. Position your blueberry bushes in a sunny, wind-protected spot for optimal growth.
