Blueberry 'Biloxi' (Vaccinium darrowii)

Heat-Tolerant Blueberries for Southern Gardens

The Biloxi Blueberry, Vaccinium 'Biloxi,' is a Southern Highbush variety known for its exceptional heat tolerance and ability to thrive in warmer climates. Native to the southeastern United States, Biloxi Blueberry produces medium to large, light blue berries with a mild, sweet flavor. This evergreen shrub is perfect for gardeners in southern regions looking for a reliable and productive blueberry plant.

Biloxi Blueberry bushes are not only productive but also provide year-round ornamental value with their glossy, green leaves and beautiful white to pinkish flowers in the spring. The berries ripen early in the season, providing an early summer harvest of delicious and nutritious fruit perfect for fresh eating, baking, or preserving.

To grow Biloxi Blueberry successfully, plant it in well-drained, acidic soil with full sun exposure. Water consistently to keep the soil moist, especially during dry periods. Mulching around the base of the plant helps retain moisture and control weeds. Prune annually to maintain plant health and promote new growth.
