Blueberries grow well in bogs. The blueberry plants love an acidic soil.   If you want to grow your own blueberries, they need acidic soil with an ideal pH between 4.5 and 5.2. If your soil pH is too high, your plants will be iron deficient, causing the foliage to turn yellow between the veins.  

Highbush blueberry plants are a favorite shrub due to their white bell-shaped flowers and vase-like structure. They are ornamental landscape plants that produce edible fruits.
