Thompson & Morgan

Experience the exceptional Blueberry 'Patriot', celebrated for its remarkably large and intensely flavourful berries, alongside consistently high yields. This early season variety is often the first to offer its delicious harvest, ripening from mid to late July. Its bushy and reasonably compact plant structure makes it ideal for gardens of all sizes. The 'Patriot' variety boasts outstanding cold hardiness, proving more tolerant of cold, wet soils and resistant to root rot compared to many other blueberry types. Beyond its fruitful bounty, Blueberry 'Patriot' is a true ornamental gem. Admire its delicate, waxy white blossoms in spring, which gracefully transition to a stunning display of fiery red and orange hues in autumn.
