Nocturne is a cross of northern highbush blueberry, Vaccinium corymbosum and southern rabbit eye blueberry, Vaccinium ashei. Mostly self fertile, Nocturne was selected for both its productivity and ornamental value. The medium to large berries ripen mid-to-late season with dark blue-black berries, contrasting with the bright coral colored unripe fruit. The flavor is sweet and slightly wild. Grows to 5′-6′.
