Blueberry, Southern Living ‘For Heaven’s Sake’
The For Heaven’s Sake Rabbiteye Blueberry is an exciting new addition to the Southern Living Plant Collection’s blueberry lineup! This variety is a replacement for the Tifblue Rabbiteye Blueberry because it has very similar fruiting specifications but it has more compact growth. It produces large bounties of delicious late-season light-blue blueberries that range from medium to large. These berries are notably firm with fantastic flavor. Expect it to be covered in small bell-shaped white flowers in late spring.
This shrub has a controlled upright growth habit that matures to 4-5′ H x 3-4′ W. Its leaves are blueish-green with purple-red hues in fall.
This variety is characterized by early ripening, late flowering, and a moderate chilling requirement (600-650 hours); which helps ward off damage from late frosts and results in high yields of quality fruit.
