Lowbush blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium) is native to the northeast. As the name implies, it is a low-growing shrub that spreads wide. The leaves are a favorite host plant for many caterpillars, with wikipedia listing 19 different species. Also, the abundant flowers are great for pollinators, and as much as humans love the fruit, so do birds, making it a great plant all around to eat and provide for the ecosystem.
