You can pick whatever varieties you like......but I would make sure they won't grow too large for a container or grow bag planting so half highs are a good choice. Pretty much all blueberries are self fruitful but you will get much more productive cropping/bigger harvests if you pick/plant at least two different types. And I always suggest to clients that they select those with different harvest times to maximize your crop, so an early, a midseason and a late variety.

And there are several evergreen types developed specifically for container culture that you might like...Sunshine Blue, Bountiful Blue, Peach Sorbet or Pink Lemonade.

I've been growing blueberries in pots for several years and they have been productive. I am in central Ohio (sort of borderline 5b-6a). I planted them in a variety of containers, mostly the black pots recycled from tree plantings (asked for them when I saw landscapers installing trees) but also the lightweight, thick walled foam sort and even cat litter buckets with drainage holes drilled. They do seem to like the tree pots best, wider and shallower rather than narrow and deep.

I mixed plain peat moss with chopped autumn leaves, maybe a little sand and a little soil thrown in. They've done well in this. In autumn I do pile leaves around the pots, and toss a little onto the top of the potting mix too.

I don't really remember all the varieties that I have - except for Pink Lemonade. I may have Sunshine Blue, Northland and/or Northblue, Bluecrop, maybe Patriot, and one or two others. I wish I knew the one bush, very productive with large sweet berries. I have always kept the plastic plant ID stick in the pot but they always disappear in a year or so. I need to start writing right on the pot!

I have a frame with netting over them to keep the birds off and the racoons away.

Ggal, would varieties with different fruiting times have different flowering times and thus not be able to cross pollinate?

kitasei, that has not been my experience in my area. Here, most plants bloom simultaneously regardless of harvest time. I guess there could be delays in other parts of the country but there should be plenty of overlap, much like there is with other fruits that require cross pollination.

I've been growing blueberries in pots for over 7yrs. I've put in small buckets, planters and blue barrels cut in half in Z7a. Growbags seemed to stress them more with the summer heat of northeast Atlantic than regular pots with good drainage and side air holes.

I have 5 different varieties, low and mid high that work very well. After about 2-3 years they all sync up and bloom pretty much at the same time in spring but the ripening of berries varies over the season so I end up with months of picking. As a matter of fact, they are all showing buds right now waiting for the trusty mason bees to show up and get started.

Out of all, my largest berry is Patriot but my best tasting is Sunshine Blues, hands down. If you want small cute as decoration or accents get a couple of Top Hat. All delicious and never disappoint.
