With the Rabbiteye Premier Blueberry plant being a large berry producer, you will easily grow enough berries to make muffins, smoothies, cakes, bread, pies, even add them to your morning oatmeal or cereal. Fresh blueberries are also easy to freeze, providing off-season enjoyment as well.

The Premier variety was released jointly by the USDA and North Carolina State University in 1978. The blueberry bush tolerates a higher PH than many varieties and is a vigorous, upright, and taller grower, reaching 6 to 10 feet tall and 6 to 8 feet wide. Around 550 chill hours are needed for the ideal fruit set.

All blueberries require cross-pollination to produce fruit. We suggest purchasing three plants of at least two different varieties for ideal fruit production. Choosing varieties that fruit at different times in the season will extend your berry availability! Shop all our blueberry bushes for sale.

Fertilizing blueberries is easy with our slow-release fertilizer that only needs to be applied once a year in the spring growing season. Excess fertilizer easily damages blueberries, so be sure to allow for rain between applications.

Blueberry plants prefer acidic soil and should be planted early in the season in early spring. A layer of organic matter, mulch, or peat moss will help retain moisture. Additionally, check out our Blueberry Soil Mix for the best soil to amend your blueberry plants with. Perform a soil test to check the soil pH when planting.
