Elliott's blueberry is a medium-sized, rounded deciduous shrub which typically grows up to 6 feet (about 1.8 meters) in height. Its leaves are narrow to elliptically shaped with pointed ends, presenting a glossy green color that may turn to a reddish hue in fall. Dainty bell-shaped, white to pinkish flowers emerge in spring, giving way to small, round, edible blue-black berries. The fruit is favored by both humans and wildlife. It thrives in acidic soil and requires ample sunlight but tolerates partial shade.
