			'''Rabbiteye Blueberry''' ('''''Vaccinium virgatum''''', also known as ''V. ashei'') is a species of [[blueberry]] native to the southeastern [[United States]], from [[North Carolina]] south to [[Florida]] and west to [[Texas]]. Other common names include Southern Highbush Blueberry, Southern Black Blueberry, and Smallflower Blueberry.

			It is a [[deciduous]] [[shrub]] growing to 4 m tall, though usually less, commonly only 1-2 m tall. The [[leaf\|leaves]] are spirally arranged, oblanceolate to narrow elliptic, 3-6 cm long. The [[flower]]s are white, bell-shaped, 5 mm long. The [[fruit]] is a berry 5 mm diameter, dark blue to black, bloomed pale blue-gray by a thin wax coating. It grows best on acid soil and is subject to few pests and diseases.

			Rabbiteye blueberries are self infertile and must have two or more varieties to [[pollenizer\|pollenize]] each other. [[Honeybee]]s are inefficient [[pollinator]]s, and [[carpenter bee]]s frequently cut the [[Corolla (flower)\|corolla]]s to [[nectar robbing\|rob nectar]] without [[pollination\|pollinating]] the flowers. Rabbiteyes do best when pollinated by [[buzz pollination]] by bees, such as the native southeastern blueberry bee, ''[[Habropoda laboriosa]]''.

			The species is cultivated for its edible berries, which are similar to other blueberries. It is also grown as an [[ornamental plant]] for its fall colors, typically bright orange or red.
