10 Primadonna Blueberry Starter Plugs Vaccinium corymbosum Northern Highbush
Primadonna Blueberry is a northern highbush selection prized for its large, firm, light-blue berries with a balanced sweet-tart flavor. This vigorous, upright shrub produces generous yields in mid to late season and brings multi-season interest with white spring blossoms and brilliant crimson fall foliage.
These starter plugs establish readily and are well suited to home orchards, edible hedgerows, and patio containers. Berries are excellent fresh, baked into muffins and pies, or frozen for later use. Plants perform best in full sun with consistent moisture and benefit from cross-pollination with another highbush variety for heavier fruit set.
