Southern Highbush and Rabbiteye blueberries tolerate more alkalinity than the usual northern highbush blueberries, but it depends on just how alkaline your soil is. I don't remember for certain, but I think Legacy is a southern type, or a southern-highbush hybrid.

We have terrible blueberry conditions, not acid, dry, hot, etc. Most
blueberries I've tried dwindle to a stick in one year and then die.
"Legacy" however seems to be surviving (in peat-moss amended soil,
been acidified, etc) and will have a little crop. The other two
planted same time/way/place (patriot and hardiblue) are in the
typical decline. Is there any information on pH-tolerant blueberry
cultivars?
