Edible Qualities

Perpetua Blueberry is a medium-sized shrub that is commonly grown for its edible qualities. It produces small clusters of navy blue round berries with silver overtones which are usually ready for picking from mid summer to mid fall. The berries have a sweet taste and a juicy texture.

Planting and Growing

Perpetua Blueberry will grow to be about 5 feet tall at maturity | with a spread of 4 feet. It tends to be a little leggy | with a typical clearance of 1 foot from the ground | and is suitable for planting under power lines. It grows at a medium rate | and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 30 years. While it is considered to be somewhat self-pollinating | it tends to set heavier quantities of fruit with a different variety of the same species growing nearby.

This shrub is typically grown in a designated area of the yard because of its mature size and spread. It does best in full sun to partial shade. It does best in average to evenly moist conditions | but will not tolerate standing water. It is very fussy about its soil conditions and must have sandy | acidic soils to ensure success | and is subject to chlorosis (yellowing) of the foliage in alkaline soils. It is quite intolerant of urban pollution | therefore inner city or urban streetside plantings are best avoided | and will benefit from being planted in a relatively sheltered location. Consider applying a thick mulch around the root zone in winter to protect it in exposed locations or colder microclimates. This particular variety is an interspecific hybrid.
