This Blueberry is known for its showy evergreen foliage. It blooms in early spring with white to white-pink flowers in clumps before putting off its edible berries in late spring. Berries are purple-black.

According to A Gardener’s Guide to Florida’s Native Plants, solitary plants rarely form fruit; two plants that are genetically unrelated are needed in order for maximum fruit production.
