White, pendulous, urn-shaped flowers bloom in spring. The round, sweet berries are dark blue to purple with a dull, blue-grey bloom on their surface.

‘Patriot’ is a high bush blueberry cultivar which typically grows 4-6’ tall. Waxy, bell-shaped, white flowers appear in May. Flowers are followed by medium-blue blueberries which ripen in mid-season (late June). 'Patriot' is known for it's higher yield than many other high bush blueberries owing in part to the large size of each berry. Berries soften in hot weather conditions.
