Vaccinium hirsutum is a species of flowering plant in the heath family known by the common name hairy blueberry. This species is endemic to a small area in the southern Appalachian mountains, where it is only known from a few counties. It is native to dry oak-pine ridges, where it can be locally abundant. [1]
It flowers in late spring, and produces unusually hairy blueberries in the summer.
