| V. corymbosum x V. angustifolium. A perfect name for this dwarf cultivar as it grows 1' – 2' high and wide. Top Hat is the result of crossing a short stature Highbush with a compact, small Lowbush Blueberry. Plentiful white blooms in spring give way to attractive light blue berries that are pea sized and larger. Top Hat is perfect for defined border plantings or growing in patio containers. It also makes an excellent candidate for a bonsai project. | |||||||||||||||||||||

Wild | 1 ft | Ground Cover |  Burgundy |

| V. angustifolium ‘Burgundy’. A standout selection from Maine, Burgundy has small but distinctive foliage: bronzy colored new growth in spring, delicate gray-green leaves in summer, and deep burgundy fall colors. The berries are the size of small peas, light blue, and are presented for easy picking around the outside of each compact plant. Growth takes place as underground stems spread. Mature size is about 3’ wide by 1’ tall. | |||||||||||||||||||||

Wild | 8-12 ft | Ground Cover |  Red, Orange |
||||||||||||||
| V. angustifolium ‘Brunswick’. Originally from Nova Scotia, we noticed Brunswick growing vigorously right here in Oregon, in a Willamette Valley trial plot. Brunswick forms a dense ground cover 8" — 12" high. The dark green glossy rounded leaves are a perfect backdrop to the sky blue pea sized fruit. Brunswick scores high style points with amazing red fall colors. | |||||||||||||||||||||

Wild Tart | 6 ft | Upright Compact | Green |
||||||||||||||
| Vaccinium ovatum ‘Thunderbird’. From the University of British Columbia Botanical Gardens, this clonal selection was first collected from a wild population near Tofino, on Vancouver Island. Thunderbird has more intense red-bronze early spring foliage than most other evergreen huckleberries. The profusion of pink-streaked bright-white flowers matures into a tasty, dark colored fall berry crop. Upright growth to 6' high and wide. | |||||||||||||||||||||
